Band information
Scourge was a speed metal band from Perth, formed by Cooper and Smith in late 2000. Dow joined in mid-2001 and a demo was put together that showed excellent potential. Wade Dunstan joined Scourge on bass late that year and they set to work playing live by utilising a drum machine. Nielson was added in late 2002 and Watkins replaced Dunstan mid-2003. A month later, Scourge began work on the debut album, while supporting the likes of Alchemist and Blood Duster in the meantime. Transgression was released in August 2004 and proved to be a solid example of prime Australian thrash. Cooper had to leave the band to follow an career with NASA in the US and as a result Scourge split in January 2005. Dow joined Voyager late that year.
