Has Dependent become the home of ex-Marilyn Manson guitarists? A few years ago came Rob Holiday's solo releases as Sulpher, and now Tim Skold's solo project SKOLD finds a home on the European industrial label. Having worked with both KMFDM and Marilyn Manson, the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Tim Skold finally returns to his original solo project SKOLD. 1996 saw the release of the first SKOLD album, released by RCA, on which Tim played all the instruments himself.
After joining KMFDM in 1997 and releasing three albums, Skold continued working with Sascha Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli as MDFMK. In 2002 he joined Marilyn Manson as bassist and co-producer following the departure of longtime Manson collaborator Twiggy Ramirez, and took over in 2004 as guitarist following the departure of John 5.
After Twiggy rejoined Manson in 2008, Skold returned to the reformed KMFDM, contributing to the 2009 album "Blitz" as well as the Skold vs. KMFDM album. Now, Metropolis and Dependent have signed on to release new solo material in 2011. First up is the single "Suck", featuring remixes by 16Volt, Front Line Assembly, and Combichrist, followed soon after by the first SKOLD full-length in 15 years!
