On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman talks to Riggs from Scum of the Earth, who have an awesome new single out titled Cigarettes of Mesopotamia
Riggs explains he would write these ancient alien songs back in the early 90’s, but they wouldn’t go over so well back then. He then stumbles across a bunch of lyrics when working on some new song, as well as writing some songs for a band called Gang of Souls and so put it all together with some changes and came up with some new Scum of the Earth songs.
Pipeman brings up the two NFT sets which Riggs has, which originally started as stickers he would sell in his tattoo shop in Missouri, and when the idea to sell NFT’S came, he suggested guitar picks and animated little aliens for the background. The guys then reminisce about album covers and how they miss the days where you would buy an album based on what it looked like.
The best way to keep up with the band would be to like Scum of the Earth on Facebook, but you can also follow them over on Instagram and YouTube which are both Scum of the Earth official. From there you’ll be able to get all the relevant links to get any information on merch, gigs and NFT’s you need. Be sure to check out the music on their YouTube page which got lost in the cracks during lockdown.

Former Rob Zombie guitarist Riggs and his band Scum Of The Earth wants everyone to know that Aliens are already here. "This is a song about ancient aliens living in the face on Mars and hiding out on earth exterminating humans ..." says Riggs. Nasty guitar and industrial beats are what fans expect from S.O.T.E. and they won't be let down with this release.
The single marks the first release for SOTE under their new label deal with TLG / INgrooves.
SOTE had an initial NFT offering of 100 pieces through Fanaply that went quickly -

The familiar songwriting and guitars that permeates Scum of the Earth's material is no coincidence; the alternative metal outfit is led by Riggs, an in-your-face singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer who is best known for the six years he spent with Rob Zombie. Riggs joined forces with Rob Zombie in the '90s and stayed with him into the early 2000s, eventually leaving in 2004 (when Rob Zombie was largely focusing on films rather than music) to start a project of his own. Riggs songwriting and crunching guitars can be heard on Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe, American Made Music To Strip By, The Sinister Urge, and the Past, Present & Future records. Named after a song from Rob Zombie's Sinister Urge, Scum of the Earth favors the sort of rhythmic, industrial-influenced, mildly funky, hip-hop-minded alternative metal that Riggs honed during the Rob Zombie days. The decadent, over-the-top sense of fun, a dark sense of humor, and a fascination with horror films, the Occult, B-movies, and sleaze is shared by RIGGS. But in contrast to such groups as Slayer -- who take their death metal outlook quite seriously -- Scum of the Earth's lyrics are very tongue-in-cheek.
