Skynd (stylised asSKYND) is an Australianindustrial rock band consisting of a lead singer named Skynd and a multi-instrumentalist named Father.[1] Their music applies the grim aesthetic oftrue crime, with songs largely based on disturbing deaths and murders.[2][3] They have released songs about topics such as thedeath of Elisa Lam, themanslaughter of Conrad Roy, and the mass suicide inJonestown.
Skynd is known for her diverse vocal styles, ranging from high pitch to low pitch and often with an inhuman element. Notably,Jonathan Davis ofKorn is a fan and joined Skynd in her song "Gary Heidnik". Davis appeared in the music video as well.[4]
Skynd's first headliner performance was atElectrowerkz in 2019 where she dressed in a motley combination of corpse paint and Victorian-styled clothing. Fans were greeted with cups ofKool-Aid as a reference to her song about theJonestown massacre.[5]Shortly after, Skynd was shortlisted as a Heavy Music Awards 2020 Finalist.[6]
Skynd has been interviewed by The Boo Crew on Episode 90 of theBloody Disgusting podcast,[7] as well as by Ebony Story ofWall of Sound.[8]
