Riggs<\/strong>\u00a0joined forces with\u00a0<strong>Rob Zombie<\/strong>\u00a0in the &#8217;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.<strong>Riggs<\/strong>\u00a0songwriting and crunching guitars can be heard on\u00a0<strong>Rob Zombie&#8217;s<\/strong>\u00a0<em><strong>Hellbilly Deluxe<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<em><strong>American Made Music To Strip By<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<em><strong>The Sinister Urge<\/strong><\/em>, and the\u00a0<strong><em>Past, Present &amp; Future<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records. Named after a song from\u00a0<strong>Rob Zombie&#8217;s<\/strong>\u00a0<em><strong>Sinister Urge<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<strong>Scum of the Earth<\/strong>\u00a0favors the sort of rhythmic, industrial-influenced, mildly funky, hip-hop-minded alternative metal that\u00a0<strong>Riggs<\/strong>\u00a0honed during the\u00a0<strong>Rob Zombie<\/strong>\u00a0days. 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\u00a0<strong>RIGGS<\/strong>. But in contrast to such groups as\u00a0<strong>Slayer<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; who take their death metal outlook quite seriously &#8212;\u00a0<strong>Scum of the Earth&#8217;s<\/strong>\u00a0lyrics are very tongue-in-cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scumoftheearth.com\/\">Scum Of The Earth<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former\u00a0Rob Zombie\u00a0guitarist\u00a0Riggs\u00a0and his band\u00a0SCUM OF THE EARTH\u00a0wants everyone to know that Aliens are already here.&#8220;This&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94619"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94625,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94619\/revisions\/94625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/94622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
