About Skold

As a solo artist, prolific Swedish producer and singer/songwriter Tim Skold issues his corrosive industrial metal under the moniker Skold. Although he made his debut in the '80s as frontman of Swedish glam metal outfit Shotgun Messiah (fka Kingpin), he found his dark calling in the mid-'90s as a rebranded solo artist bent on moving the body as much as disturbing the mind. Skold's self-titled debut featured nihilistic anthems that veered close to contemporaries like Gravity Kills and Chemlab, as well as early-era Nine Inch Nails. Through the decades -- bouncing between solo efforts and collaborative stints with like-minded acts such as KMFDM/MDFMK and Marilyn Manson -- he maintained his solo artistic trajectory while also producing and performing with Newlydeads, Ohgr, Doctor Midnight & the Mercy Cult, and Motionless in White.
