SKOLD\u2019s New Industrial Metal Album DIES IRAE Gets Released Along With A Visually Stunning New Video!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

When TIM SKOLD, producer and former member of Marilyn Manson\u2019s band, ex-KMFDM member, Motionless In White producer, and co-founder of Swedish metal act Shotgun Messiah, titled his new album\u00a0Dies Irae<\/em>\u00a0– a Latin phrase meaning \u201cDay Of Wrath\u201d – not even he could have imagined what the fates had in store for 2021. Between political upheavals and violent revolts to a myriad of allegations against established heroes and icons, it seems a day of reckoning may indeed be coming, like a \u201cblack cloud on a dirty horizon.\u201d That\u2019s the image painted by SKOLD in the lead-off track to\u00a0Dies Irae<\/em>, the fifth and most aggressive album to date, \u201cDirty Horizon,\u201d a heavy-as-fu*k metal anthem that grabs you by the throat with its opening riff and doesn\u2019t let up for the entirety of its 4-minute running time. It\u2019s a bold and powerful opening to the set, even as it suggests that this particular beginning is in fact the beginning of the end, \u201cGoodbye and goodnight \/ Everything is alright \/ Blinded by starlight \/ Everything is fine \/ Just let it BURN.\u201d And burn SKOLD does through nine more tracks of face-melting metal riffs, glorious keyboards and lyrical musings on death (\u201cTerrified\u201d), revolution (\u201cThe End Is Near\u201d), romance (\u201cLove Is A Disease\u201d) and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


SKOLD is also proud to announce a brand new video for \u201cDirty Horizon,\u201d another collaboration between SKOLD and filmmaker\/award-winning music video director Vicente Cordero. The two had collaborated previously on the sweeping, cinematic video for \u201cSmall World\u201d from SKOLD\u2019s 2019 album\u00a0Never Is Now<\/em>\u00a0as well as on two haunting videos for Not My God – SKOLD\u2019s other project with Psyclon Nine\u2019s Nero Bellum – \u201cFiction\u201d and \u201cSowing Discord.\u201d The \u201cDirty Horizon\u201d video finds SKOLD paying homage to the legendary film by fellow Swede Ingmar Bergman, the 1957 epic \u201cThe Seventh Seal.\u201d Shot in the stone dungeon of the stunning Abbey Arroyo, the video has SKOLD performing dual roles as both the medieval knight and the physical manifestation of Death to whom the knight confesses. The result is a visual masterpiece of religious imagery, dark foreboding and the ancient struggle for meaning and redemption in a wrathful, fallen world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for SKOLD himself, after 3 decades of making music, he is determined as ever to remain true to his vision and defy audience expectations, saying \u201cI really don\u2019t know what people expect but I think that is a good thing. The idea is that if I just stick to doing my thing I will somehow retain the original enthusiasm and it is actually working, I\u2019m literally getting more inspired the further down the rabbit hole I go. It\u2019s getting scary.\u201d
