===SKOLD===
Following the break-up of Shotgun Messiah, Skold went on to pursue a solo career. Writing all songs and playing all instruments himself, his self-titled debut album, ''[[Skold]]'', was released in 1996 by RCA. The album was co-produced with [[Scott Humphrey]]. Promoting his debut album, Skold and the rest of the live SKOLD band went on a short tour with [[Genitorturers]]. Some of the songs on the ''Skold'' album were used in movies like [[Disturbing Behavior]] ("Hail Mary"), [[Universal Soldier: The Return]] ("Chaos") and the [[PlayStation]] game [[Twisted Metal 4]] ("Chaos"). During his solo career, Skold also provided remixes for several bands, such as [[Prong (band)|Prong]], [[Nature (band)|Nature]] and Drown. He also met [[KMFDM]] front-man [[Sascha Konietzko]] during his time in the studio.

Around 2002, Skold recorded a follow up to his 1996 self-titled album. Skold stated in an interview with ''The Sychophant'' that he had made a demo with 10 copies ever made. The demo had 10 songs on it. Six of the 10 were released on file sharing networks without Skold's permission: "Burn", "Dead God", "I Hate", "Believe", "The Point", and "Don't Pray". The demo is known as the ''Dead God EP'', although Skold says that it was called ''Disrupting the Orderly Routine of the Institution''. The original artwork was made with an inkjet printer and was the title written in drippy letters. This demo was given to several friends that Skold considered trustworthy, but his songs appeared on the internet from one of them. Skold said that "someone suggested to me that I should go back to them and finish it off and release it. And maybe I will one day, who knows?"<ref>{{cite web | url=http://thesychophant.net/?p=831 | title=The Sychophant » Skold – Resurrecting Dead Gods| author=Yücel, Ilker | work=The Sychophant | date=6 July 2009 | access-date=3 September 2010}}</ref> All 10 songs were eventually officially released in 2022 as the album ''Dead God''.

The setlist spanned Tim's entire career and contained such hits as "[[Personal Jesus]]", "Error 404", "Anarchy", "[[Tainted Love]]", as well as "Chaos" and "Hail Mary" from his debut album, just to name a few. He was very accessible after shows and more than happy to discuss firearms and lipstick, as well as gear over a beer.

In 2018, SKOLD released a cover of the song "White As Chalk" by [[Leæther Strip]] on the compilation album ''Heært Combine''.
