The 8th album as solo artist “Caught in the Throes” sees SKOLD further push his own artistic boundaries, blending all manner of genres into a unique mix of dark electronic and rock. Swedish Musician, Producer, and Multi-Instrumentalist Tim Skold is an enigmatic, versatile musician and producer renowned for his contributions to industrial rock, metal, and electro-industrial genres. Well known for his contributions to genres that include industrial rock, metal and electro-industrial, Skold started out in the late 1980s with the hard rock band Shotgun Messiah , before launching his solo career in 1996 with a self-titled album on RCA Records. It featured the songs ‘Chaos' and ‘Hail Mary', both of which were subsequently utilised in movies and video games. His talent attracted the attention of industrial music pioneers KMFDM , leading to his involvement in their albums ‘Symbols' (1997), ‘Adios' (1999) and ‘Attak' (2002), plus a later return for ‘Blitz' (2009). He also co-founded MDFMK with KMFDM mainman Sascha Konietzko, releasing a self-titled album in 2000. Skold joined Marilyn Manson in 2002, producing, writing and performing on their chart-topping album ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque' (2003) and ‘Eat Me, Drink Me' (2007), as well as the singles ‘Tainted Love' and ‘Personal Jesus'. Leaving Manson in 2008, Skold continued his solo career with albums like ‘Anomie' (2011), ‘The Undoing' (2016), ‘Never Is Now' (2019) and ‘Dies Irae' (2021), each of which showcased his evolving sound and production skills. He also produced and co-wrote for the albums ‘Infamous' (2012) and ‘Reincarnate' (2014) by the US metal band Motionless In White, both of which achieved significant chart success. Other recent collaborations have included three albums as Not My God with Nero Bellum of Psyclon Nine (2020-23), a 2024 record entitled ‘ Love Ghost x Skold ' with alt-rock band Love Ghost that blended emo-tinged nu-metal with contemporary hip-hop and alt-rock influences, plus 2025 work with (that imbecile of) Ye.
