The Weakener - What do you know about it? (1998)

"Holy asshat, Batman! They're aiming some kind of supersonic weapon at us!"

Although Scorn was on indefinite hiatus during the time this baby was put out, Mick Harris on the other hand just wasn't ready to kick back and relax. It was time for another project, another release and more work to keep the man sane.

Harris is ready and comes prepared. He sets the background with an arsenal of hypnotically slow beats, thick, throbbing and full of echo. On top of that, a seemingly endless variation of drones and noises work their way back and forth in the mix. Spiced up with enough low end and bass to defy, and take on, the Mariana trench, you'd better keep an eye on that subwoofer.

The album features seven tracks in, give or take, 50 minutes. If you're looking for variation, you'd better sample another album. On the other hand, if you're interested in tight beats, a menacing ambience and enough sonic boom to sink a submarine, this is a sure bet.

All work and no play doesn't seem to make Mick a dull boy. Quite the contrary, in my opinion his vision is shining brighter than ever.
