Scum of the Ǝarth is an American industrial metal side project created by Mike Riggs. A full recording band was formed in 2003 with other musicians associated with Rob Zombie, who temporarily set aside his music career to focus on writing and directing movies. They have released three albums and eight singles.

SOTƎ had an initial lineup of Riggs (lead vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and owner), brothers Mike (guitarist) and John Tempesta (drummer), and Clay Campbell (bassist).

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. The name also borrows from the Rob Zombie single "Scum of the Earth" that was originally featured in the soundtrack to the 2000 action film Mission: Impossible II and Zombie's 2001 album The Sinister Urge.
