Ebola played in Belfast very recently... 4 days ago in fact. He mixed an interesting set of amen mashup and dubstep. This was fine for a night of making an ass of of myself with a ridiculous sloppy rave dance 
.
But his warm up act was the single worst set EVER. It was a guy called Scorn, he was affiliated with the 80s death metal band napalm death; anyhoo the entire set was averaging about 70 bpm. I wasn't exactly expecting OTT speedcore but it was well weak.
This begs the question "What the fuck's going on?"
I seriously hope slow "Industrial Doom" isn't the new Ebola direction

Whether you like him or not, Scorn arguably invented dubstep over 10 years ago.

Yes he definately has his own definitive style, but I don't think it is in keeping with an Ebola set; one of the monsters of mashup?
Also, given that basically all forms of electronic music - especially dnb - use recyled elements (breaks, samples, patches etc.) its hard to accuratley note the "inventor" of something. Also, given how varied the style spectrum of dnb is I refute the point that someone can infact invent a genre.
In my opinion, a musical genre - like many things - is a product of evolution not revolution. I think dubstep emerged as a movement away from breakbeat that did not go as far as grime, or some other long-winded direction. But I don't like to believe some one (as you say, SCORN) invented it overnight.
Whatever... I think too much

I thought surely this guy is taking the piss! But you're not!!!
Scorn is the king, Mick is the king, all hail Mick! That "death metal" band you mention is the first ever grindcore band. The man virtually invented the blastbeat. I started listening to breakcore because the mangled beats reminded me of the scraping and shredding chaos of the blast.
But seriously, dubstep sounds like Scorn did. Of course he didn't invent it, marketing invents genres, but he is the godfather. Dubstep is basically industrial dub with Jamaican references and house claps!
No-one thinks too much. People just write too much. Like me!
Why does a support act have to be similar to the following set at a gig anyway?
Scorn music...weak !? Lolz.
