Legendary Skold, the solo project of the versatile Swedish musician, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tim Skold, has presented the first track, "All Humans Must Be Destroyed", from its forthcoming full-length, Caught In The Throes, due on 10 October via Metropolis Records.

The subject matter of the song concerns AI and the possibility that some people might already be "robots".

Well-known for his contributions to genres that include industrial rock, metal, and electro-industrial, Skold started 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 subsequently utilised in movies and video games.

His talents attracted the attention of industrial music pioneers KMFDM, leading to his involvement in their albums Symbols (1997), Adios (1999), Attak (2002), and later, Blitz (2009). He also co-founded MDFMK with KMFDM's 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, Not My God with Nero Bellum of Psyclon Nine (2020-23), a 2024 record, Love Ghost x Skold with alt-rock band Love Ghost, and a 2025 work with Ye. Link
