Tim Scott was born in Paterson, NJ, but spent much of his childhood in Northern California, where he was heavily influenced by the Bay Area thrash scene growing up. Moving back to New Jersey in his late teens, Tim became involved in the metal underground scene where he was introduced to Henry and John of REVENANT. Tim became a member of the band in 1988. He recorded and toured with REVENANT untill the band decided to break up. Tim decided to move to Florida and join the Death Metal scene which was thriving there at the time. He met up with Phil Fasciana from Malevolent Creation and was asked join HatePlow with Phil and Rob Barret of CANNIBAL CORPSE. Tim moved to Sweden soon after the release of HatePlow‘s ‘Everybody Dies‘ album.

In Sweden Tim has been involved in the Swedish underground metal scene recording with brutal death metallers VOLTURON (Vicisolum) , MARGRAVE with Toob of INSISION (Bifrost Records) and of course fronting Southern Groove Metal band METHANE.
