Vae Solis is the debut studio album of Scorn, released in 1992 by Earache Records. Quoting the Ask Earache blog (I think it's Digby Pearson, Earache Records founder): "The cover of Vae Solis (which i think strictly means 'Woeful Sun' in latin- or Black Sun more likely) is a collage of 2 medical photographs superimposed. One photo is an open throat, probably diseased, the other is a cancerous cell, taken with microscope, if memory serves.

Perhaps an oversimplification, but Vae Solis is notable for partially being a last working out of Harris' death/thrash jones in a slightly more conventional sense - not entirely a throwback, but certainly one with its moments. Here, Bullen's roaring vocals have an obvious kinship with Justin Broadrick's snarls from Godflesh (all the more fitting since Broadrick contributes guitars to the album); the sense of ambient space that would grow stronger and stronger here turns up mostly as occasional dropouts in the mix or slabs of echo and reverb slathered over the words.

Talk about Scorn - Vae Solis


Kea
A sort of twin from Godflesh, but I have to precise that it doesn´t mean Scorn been of lesser value. The debut only shows the most rutilant and juvenile form from this monster, and although the use of pedal distortion, feedback and repetitive rhythms make it typical for what refers to the early Earache industrial-rock sound, Scorn presents already the symptoms of dark ambience and illbient mixed together that will later form the base of their subsequent discography. "Vae Solis" is an opressive album, muddy and heavy, not for the faint of heart and certainly not for everyday. And if Godflesh was good displaying the juxtaposition of guitar-bass sequences, Scorn does too but with a slight inclination towards Industrial metal with laces of Doom (long spatiated tempos like "Lick forever dog" for example) or more hardcore induced ones like "Hit", "Walls of my heart" yet always granting this ambience of encapsulated density given by the obscure synths, the dark samplers and the excerpts from movies (Among my favourites, the ones brougth from "the wicker man"). And it is this particular darkness in the ambience what will later be explored by Mick Harris deeply in order to form the "Alma mater" that will be the legendary Scorn we know to this day.

Great first album by Scorn, but don't expect your steady dose of minimal electronic beats here. In its first incarnation, Scorn was a pummeling Industrial Metal machine in which both Nik Bullen and Mick Harris had the same specific weight. Add Justin Broadrick's (Godflesh, amongst a myriade of projects) detuned guitar assault and you get an idea of the content on this disc. The first half is more straight forward Industrial sound, very metal, but as the record advances the sound widens up and gets kinda eerie, leaving space for some Dark Ambient and Dub references. Still, it's far from the later/Mick Harris solo incarnation of the project, but it is a milestone for all fans of the british Industrial sound from the first half of the 90's, and a really good record on its own.
