Love Ghost x SKOLD ○ Ski Mask & Nightshade and Cocaine

  From CANADA 

 

Love Ghost x SKOLD ○ Ski Mask & Nightshade and Cocaine

On a hot and heavy trail of singles ‘Nightshade and Cocaine’, 'Payback' and their latest offering 'Ski Mask', alternative rock maverick Love Ghost and industrial legend Tim Skold (SKOLD, Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White) are geared up for their debut 'Love Ghost x SKOLD' album.

The 13-track offering will be released through iconic American label Metropolis Records, continuing the label's long relationship with Tim Skold. Mixing fire with brimstone, these two innovative artists have joined forces, forging the raw energy of grunge with the driving rhythms of industrial rock, taking us through an adrenaline-filled journey that Finnegan Bell dubs "literally musical storytelling".

"We very deliberately tried to not have a specific “sound” for this album and instead make music that is genuinely honest and pure in that sense. We both have stylings and character so we didn’t feel that was something that needed much attention and instead focused on making a rad collection of songs that we felt are really cool. I think real and true diversity come from making sure you don’t stifle the raw creativity," says Tim Skold.

Finnegan Bell adds, "I would agree with Tim, we made music that we felt was from the heart and stimulated our imagination. The music sounds like multiple universes coming together to create something unique and we are proud of that. I’ve also always felt that art should be in the eye of the beholder, because it means something different for every individual person that is experiencing it."

Swedish musician and record producer Tim Skold is best known for his work with KMFDM, Shotgun Messiah, Marilyn Manson, and Motionless in White, as well as performing as SKOLD and half of Not My God (with Nero Bellum). A full-fledged band member of Marilyn Manson for several world tours, Skold produced the band's #1 Billboard US charting album 'The Golden Age of Grotesque', cover versions of 'Tainted Love' and 'Personal Jesus', and the controversial album 'Eat Me, Drink Me'. He later co-produced two Motionless in White albums. As SKOLD, he has released several albums and toured extensively with Front Line Assembly and Motionless in White, among others.

Based in LA, Love Ghost is an enigmatic indie band dishing up a distinctive blend of grunge, alt-rock and post-punk, informed by the Seattle tradition as much as Soundcloud-era fearlessness. Founded by vocalist-guitarist Finnegan Bell, the band quickly garnered attention for their raw, energetic sound, mature lyrics and numerous collaborations. Having toured internationally, they've also earned plaudits from such publications as Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, American Songwriter and New Noise.

"For me, writing is something that has always been so intuitive - like it clicks or sometimes it doesn't click. But for this project, we just kind got into the studio and had really good chemistry. Now you know that a lot of songs came from that. Sometimes Tim would have an idea or sometimes I would. It just felt like electricity. Every single time that we would get together, we would have a new idea and we would have a new song basically," says Finnegan Bell.
 
In his turn, Tim Skold notes that, in a fleeting and constantly evolving music industry, this project presented unique opportunities that differ from his collaborations with such high-profile artists as Marilyn Manson and Ye, where heightened fame and media attention can significantly complicate the creative process, not to mention logistics.

'Ski Mask' and 'Nightshade and Cocaine' are out now everywhere, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music. The 'Love Ghost x SKOLD' album, which is now available for pre-order, will be released on November 22.

"This sonic rollercoaster effortlessly transitions between heavy, driving riffs and melodic, catchy choruses. Loaded with raw energy, the grunge influence is palpable with industrial rhythms and gothic elements provide an invigorating counterpoint – an auditory adventure worth taking" ~ Spill Magazine
