Scum of the Earth is an industrial heavy metal band. They have released three albums and eight singles. The band formed in 2003 when Rob Zombie set aside his music career, focusing on writing and directing movies.
The band's name comes from a 1978 episode of the television series WKRP in Cincinnati. The Hoodlum Rock episode is about a concert being promoted at the station, of a "hoodlum rock" band called Scum of the Earth.
