Primitive Man is an American doom metal band from Denver, Colorado, composed of Ethan Lee McCarthy on vocals and guitar, Jonathan Campos on bass, and Joe Linden (who has replaced founding member Bennet Kennedy) on drums.

[3] They are known for an extremely harsh sound[4] – combining funeral doom, noise music, and black metal elements – and blunt nihilistic outlook.

The band was formed in February 2012 by guitarist-vocalist Ethan Lee McCarthy, bassist Jonathan Campos and drummer Bennet Kennedy.

In October 2012, the band recorded their debut album Scorn at Flatline Audio under the direction of Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation, Cobalt, Catheter).

Since then, the band has done many subsequent tours in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
