A side project of Dan Lilker (Brutal Truth), Shane Embury (Napalm Death), and Scott Lewis (Exit-13), it took its name from a lyric in the Skinny Puppy song "Human Disease (S.K.U.M.M.)." Their sole release, Defiance of the Ugly By The Merely Repulsive, combines a mostly industrial sound heavily indebted to the aforementioned Skinny Puppy with slow, grinding and heavily effects-processed guitars. It was recorded seemingly spontaneously on two different occasions, with one session in 1992 and the other session in 1995.
