Scott Burns is an American computer engineer and a former music producerofdeath metal records from late 1980s and 1990s. He was crucial to the emergence of the Florida death metal scene.[1][2]
He has produced many records for many famous death metal bands, including Death, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Sepultura, Obituary, Atheist, Transmetal, Suffocation, and Cynic. He has engineered some of the top genre-defining death metal albums such as Death's Human, Massacre's From Beyond, Obituary's Slowly We Rot, and Assück's Misery Index. He most recently worked on the album Frozen in Time (2005) by Obituary. Burns has since quit producing full-time to work in computer programming.[3][4]
In 2023, Burns was the subject of the David E. Gehlke biography The Scott Burns Sessions: A Life in Death Metal 1987–1997, which documents his career and albums produced at Morrisound and features interviews with him and other artists involved in their creation.[5][6][7] Following its release, Burns made a rare public appearance at the 2024 Decibel Metal and Beer Festival in Philadelphia.[8]
