Gruntsplatter, the primary project of Scott Candey, came to be in 1994 after about a year of experimenting. It has always been a maleable creature that hovers in the gray area between abrasive noise and dark ambient. The music has been called "noise ambient" and it's a term I embrace.

Mood and depth of composition have continually been of the first importance for Gruntsplatter. By mixing the harsher elements and their details with the more atmospheric elements I feel I am best able to acheive what I am working toward. My intent has always been, and continues to be, to make something evocative and subtle in it's detail.

Influenced primarily by my mood and immediate state of mind I also draw, somewhat esoterically, from literature, history and the death rattles and rituals of our eroding gene pool.

I have also collaborated with a few others over the years, those projects include, Circadian, Triage, Blunt Force Trauma and Umbra. Gruntsplatter has always, and will always, consist of only myself.
