SKOLD VS KMFDM: Audio Samples Available

December 23, 2008

Tim Skold (SHOTGUN MESSIAH, KMFDM, MARILYN MANSON) and Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM) are collaborating on a new album/project called SKOLD VS KMFDM. The hard-hitting, fun and aggressive industrial rock album will feature 22 tracks and more than 70 minutes of quality mayhem. The songs tend to combine the technical guitar work and lyrical wordplay of SKOLD with the heavy beat electro formula of KMFDM. Neither a SKOLD album or simply KMFDM, it is said to be a wonderful combination of both entities.

Skold joined KMFDM in 1997 and appeared on the album "Symbols", writing and singing on the song "Anarchy", which became a hit in clubs and spawned subsequent remixes of the track done by Skold himself. His next album with KMFDM, "Adios", was released in 1999, with Skold taking a more prominent role in the band — not only as co-vocalist, co-writer, and bassist, but also as producer, engineer, and programmer alongside KMFDM's founder Sascha Konietzko. Due to turmoil within the band, Konietzko and Skold parted ways and disbanded KMFDM in 1999, re-starting as MDFMK the following year. They released just one album: "MDFMK" (2000, Universal Records). The band, with Lucia Cifarelli (formerly of DRILL),took on a more "futuristic" sound, which contained less of the four on the floor KMFDM was known for and added a mix of drum and bass, trance and Europop, primarily in a production style leaning towards "electronica." MDFMK featured all three members sharing vocal duties. Their song "Missing Time" was used in the animated movie "Heavy Metal 2000". A couple of years later the trio reformed KMFDM and released "Attak" before Skold left to join MARILYN MANSON.
