Band Crush Monday: Sköld

Perhaps a more appropriate title would be “Man Crush Monday,” because I can’t actually limit my appreciation to Tim Sköld’s solo work — and because I’m not blind.

Okay, enough about my shallow side. Lol. In case you didn’t know, Tim Sköld has dabbled in a lot of musical quests over the years.

There were his 80’s days, with Shotgun Messiah:

Then, there was his stint with KMFDM:

Of course, his solo work:

He filled in with Marilyn Manson for a few years:

And did another album with the members of KMFDM:

His most recent release is 2016’s The Undoing, and “Better the Devil” is the lead single.

I do love this man ❤

Album of the Week: KMFDM’s Attak

Attak has the very first KMFDM song I ever heard on it (track six, “Yohoho”). I have recently found my way back to KMFDM, thanks to my love of Tim Sköld, so I wanted to feature them and this album.

Tim Sköld and KMFDM — “Love is Like”

Weekly Focus: Sköld, Day One

Sköld — “Shut Up,” from the self-titled debut album (1996).

Album of the Week: Sköld’s Anomie

I became aware of Tim Sköld’s existence when he temporarily joined Marilyn Manson. I don’t remember where I learned that he was a member of KMFDM, but I assumed that was where he came from. It wasn’t until last year that I stumbled across his solo work.

Anomie has two of my favorite songs by Sköld — “(This is My) Elephant” and “Suck” — and that’s why it is my album of the week.
