Digg - Del.icio.us - StumbleUpon

Of course we've always had our own rivalry one time or another and what makes the music world any different? Not that different at all not by a long shot. Tim Skold and Sascha Konietzko have created an industrial mixture of music you won't be able to get out of your head for at least a week. The mixture of metal and goth that those fans will adore; the album is titled "Skold Vs. KMFDM," consisting of 22-tracks a total collaboration of these two artists butting heads dishing out some of the most mythical beats and tones there are in existence in the music world.

The album alone wasn’t even recorded with the two artists present, the album was recorded separate having Sascha do her part in Germany while Tim did his share in California both in the end bringing out an creative but catchy album that will surely please your ears leaving them beating periodically. Each tune being more interesting than the last, starting off the record is "Why Me," bringing that techno tracing beat that enters your head and doesn't leave until it's good and ready. Giving a non-stop head rush in an instant, beating right on through onto the next catchy tune entitled "Love Is Like," which brings out a similar riff of Marilyn Manson to mind as the intro beats begin to take their toll on the sound of the music being played. Konietzko explains: "We constantly bounced stuff back and forth over the server, and with a time-difference of nine hours between us, it turned out that one of us slept while the other one worked and vice-versa, and thus we got two full days of work done in just 24 hours." Before they began exchanging files, Konietzko and Skold agreed to some ground rules for the album, which included a no-guitars proviso and a no real drum kits stipulation. Skold elaborates: "This is a very electronic album but the majority of the instruments used are actually analog and many of them are not even electric. What we decided to intentionally avoid this time was the traditional electric guitar. This was done to confuse and bewilder our fans. We like to keep them on their toes and many of them appreciate the challenge."

"All Or Nothing," is another catchy tune which draws your attention in an instant as the playback soon begins and quickly ends drawing in the music altogether with an uplifting style that won't be forgotten. "Skold Vs. KMFDM," is an album with a techno goth metal beating that beats itself deep into your skull leaving the blood remains dripping from your ear lobe.  Fans of Marylin Manson’s creepy tone of death with a mixture of London After Midnight will absolutely fall in love with this collaboration of tunes from the very beginning to the very depths of the ending. There is nothing this album does not have that you will not want to miss.
