As long as there is evil walking among us, we will never stay silent. We’ve stood together in crowded venues, shared the weight of heavy stories, and created a space where we don't look away from the dark.

But today, I want to turn the spotlight on you.

I want to know your stories. What brought you to SKYND? Why does this music, this specific fascination with the darker parts of human nature, resonate so deeply with you? Was there a specific case, a specific lyric, or a moment in your life that connected you to the dark place?

This community is built on the fact that we aren’t alone in our curiosity. So, if you feel comfortable sharing, tell me your "why" in the comments below.

Thank you for being more than just listeners. Thank you for being witnesses.

-SKYND 🖤

I’ve always been interested in the subject. An ex friend turned me onto your music she thought I’d really like it since I’m a metalhead and I have to admit it took me a little adjust to the music but once I did I fell in love been a fan ever since haha. The mind of these people has always fascinated me aswell. Idk I feel at home here in this community

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by what a human being is capable of and how the human psyche develops. Shortly after "Gary Heidnik" was released, the song popped up in my Spotify "Mix of the Week," and I was hooked from the very first second. The way these experiences are recounted, Skynd’s voice, the genre, the videos... everything just clicked. Thanks for that <3

When I first discovered your music, I was immediately captivated by your style. Then, a little later, I realized it was true crime, which made me even more interested. I can’t praise you enough: your singing voice is amazing, and Father is incredible, too. Your live performance really highlighted just how talented you are and how dedicated you are to what you do. Your music gives me energy at the gym and while I’m out running. And your music will keep my interest in true crime alive for a long time to come. Thank you for everything 🖤

First, I discovered you sum (as in 4) years & several months ago thanks to YouTube Recommendations. Second, after I watched your music videos & tuned to your songs...I thought they were amazing! The songs do give storytelling about true crime events, and I thoughy it was fascinating to read lyrics that describe it all! Your band did a great job with all instrumentals & such!Third, I decided to support you here because I want to see what you offer to us in Patreon, like behind the scenes photos from your past music video productions, same with past concert pictures, Livestreams, etc! ^___^

I've been a true crime deep diver for decades. While doing a deep dive into Michelle Carter (for like the 3rd time) I stumbled across your music. Immediately hooked. I'm here for the long haul because the translation of these cases into songs are incredible and haunting. Fan for life!

I’ve got an interesting story... To cut a long story short, at first my mum pushed me to take loads of tranquillisers (I’m epileptic and an introvert) and my mum is a 400% extrovert who believes I should listen to her on everything; so, to drive me to my first suicide attempt, she had to talk to me for a week (during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic) exclusively about how I had to force myself to want to conceive, carry and give birth to a child (because that’s what she wanted), and until I’d forced myself to find a partner and agree to get married, I wasn’t allowed out from under her overprotective wing But as soon as we split up, my mum said, ‘Well, you can come back home, but preferably pregnant. I swear I won’t say another word to you.’ Since then (more than two years), I haven’t spoken to a single member of my family (my parents are divorced).

The only thing that helped was music. In fact, it’s the only thing that helped – and still helps – whatever’s left inside me to pull itself together, find the strength to carry on, and stay at least a little bit alive.

For me it goes back to the release of Rammstein's single "mein teil" in 2004 - I remember there was quite an uproar about this song in the media. I saw an interview where Rammstein explained that this song was based on a true story, which got me curious. I started researching about the case of Armin Meiwes, which completely shocked me but also got me interested in true crime in general - trying to understandhow the human psyche ticks (this case is still haunting me, especially the fact that the victim wanted this to happen). Back then I thought it would be so unique and special if there was an artist or band that would focus about telling the stories about true crime through their music - so that these cases are not forgotten and that people can learn from them. My first contact with Skynd's music was on YouTube, when the song "Gary Heidnik" was in my recommendation list. I had at the beginning a similar reaction as with "mein Teil" - shocked and curious at the same time. I couldn't stop listening to the song and I researched about Gary Heidnik. I also listened to "Elisa Lam" and "Richard Ramirez" and I knew that Skynd's music is absolutely unique. Since then I'm totally hooked 🖤

Five years ago, I accidentally came across “Tyler Hadley” on a local streaming service, and it was love at first listen. I literally had the song on repeat for days. As I started digging deeper into SKYND, I was amazed to discover that true crime music even existed. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Exploring the stories behind each case, dissecting every lyric, and analyzing the music itself became a whole adventure. Since then, every new release has felt like an event, keeping me hooked for days. But the biggest reason SKYND means so much to me goes beyond the music. During one of the darkest periods of my life, your songs gave me something to hold on to. They helped me face my own darkness instead of running from it and gave me the strength to finally seek professional help. In many ways, your music became a form of therapy. Today, SKYND is an essential part of my life. It’s an incredibly profound piece of art and, over the past two tours, the perfect reason to travel to new countries just to experience your concerts. Thank you for creating something so unique and for reminding people that even the darkest stories can help us better understand ourselves. Thank you for being here 🖤

I first discovered your music at Download Festival in 2019. Whenever I go to a festival, I always make a point of checking out the lineup beforehand to discover new bands, and finding your music was one of the best discoveries I've ever made. As someone who has always been fascinated by true crime and has a deep love for music, I was instantly hooked. What really sets you apart is the incredible care, passion, and attention to detail you pour into every part of what you create. The way you take each case and transform it into a song, then bring it to life through the music video and your live performances, is something truly special. Your music isn't just something I listen to—it's something I experience. It has stayed with me ever since that first discovery in 2019, and I'm so grateful I took the chance to check out your set. Thank you for creating something so unique and meaningful. 🖤🖤🖤

I've always bin curious about the human mind for as long as I can remember, I was horrifically bullied as a kid at school to many ppl have sadly tried to end my life, and being in a horrific foster system did little to make me wonder why people were so evil, when I try my bes not to be, a very good friend of my told me about yous in 2019 just after I left my extremely abusive ex husband everyone was terrified for me after I left and I needed somthing to focus on and your music did just that

I’ve spent my whole life trying to understand people .why some become victims, others become perpetrators, and how profoundly trauma can shape an entire person’s life. I’ve also always been deeply interested in psychology, and I’ve always felt a strong desire to help people who are going through difficult times or who feel broken, much like I do. The psychology behind violxnt acts and hxrting others has, among other things, helped me at least partially understand why some people did such terrible things to me. Trauma and its consequences may never completely disappear, but sometimes it brings me a certain sense of comfort when I’m at least able to understand some of it. I also like to think that if I were to study these topics more deeply one day, I could use that knowledge to help other people and give my own pain some meaning. One of the thoughts that kept me going for a long time was that maybe no one would ever be able to completely help me, but I could still help others. What first drew me to true crxme, though, was the deeply disturbing and at the same time incredibly tragic story of OLGA HEPNAROVÁ. It left the strongest impression on me out of every case I’ve ever read about, and it profoundly changed the way I see human psychology, trauma, loneliness, and how far longterm pain can drive a person And im also an extremely empathetic person. Some of these stories stayed with me for years and left such a deep emotional mark on me that they eventually became an inspiration for my writing book. Another thing that drew me to your music is that I genuinely think you are one of the best singers I have ever heard. I deeply appreciate what you create, and I also relate to many of the things you express. Above all, your music is absolutely incredible. I love almost everything you release, I listen to your songs every day, and I honestly think you have an angelic voice. I was never really someone who went to concerts, partly because I struggle with social anxiety, and I also never used to follow artists very closely. But I love your music so much that I went to your concert this year, and it was an unforgettable experience. Whenever you perform in Prague or somewhere nearby again, I definitely plan to come again! So I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate your work. Thank you for everything you do!🖤

When I first heard a SKYND song about Richard Ramirez, it was back in 2020. It scared me because I liked it. I got goosebumps all over my body, and I thought maybe I was heading down the wrong path. But over time, I realized it was an honest and unsettling truth about the nature of evil. Evil is real. It exists, and it can be felt. I think it's better to see it and understand it than to pretend it doesn't exist or that it's always "somewhere else." What captivated me the most was the melody. It feels so precise and powerful that it's impossible to resist—it completely draws you in. Thank you, SKYND, for existing and for telling these horrific stories in this unique way. It can't undo what happened, but we must never forget it.

I’ve always been very interested in true crime honestly since I was like, a young teenager (11-12 years old) with unrestricted internet access and a mother who regularly watched TV channels like ID and CI. At first it was morbid curiosity but then later I became interested in the why behind it. I purchased tickets for me and my friend to see Ice Nine Kills on their Wurst Vacation Tour in 2023 and we actually almost didn’t go. I’m glad we did cuz that’s where I got introduced to your music for the very first time and I honestly immediately knew I had found my new favourite artist. I was captivated by your music and the way you tell the stories of these cases, honestly minus one specific vocaloid song from 2015-2016 I didn’t even know true crime music was a thing. Until you. And I’ve been supporting you, Father and Deadbeat ever since 🖤

The first time I heard "Aileen Wuornos" and saw your music videoI was blown away by your vibe and your style I was fascinated by the depth of all the songs and stories. It has become a part of me, and I’m glad to be here in the Dark Place 🖤🖤

My own childhood trauma brought me here. Why did I go through a lot of the same issues these Killers went through but instead of doing what they did I am trying to make something of myself to do good for others

Veronika

It was Rock im Park 2022, my sister wanted to be close to the front for Grandson, so we arrived at the stage early and Skynd happened to be the band before. I still remember how you came on and then a few songs in I realised your songs were about true crime (which I've always been interested in). Next thing I know, I'm telling my sister: "I'm about to make this band my personality from now on!" and that's what happened.

'Fake crime', is where my story began. Television programs like CSI, always lying on the floor playing 'dead', to practise to play a corpse in a serie. 'Killing' my dolls, ... 'Fake crime' turned into 'True crime'. I noticed that how closer I got to horrible stories that really happened, the more it does to me. An undescribable feeling. It fascinated me that things really happened. I met someone who was also into true crime, and she told me about you, Skynd. She showed me Elisa Lam, Gary Heidnik and Michelle Carter. It felt like coming home. Because it was exactly what I needed. "I wanted to sing and scream true crime art" Music, a voice, so many details, coming closer to true crime than watching docu's and reading about it. This is artwork where I could REALLY express 'myself' (by hearing and singing your texts, voices and screams, Skynd) It was not silent anymore. There was a sound. A loud sound. Unfortunately my story has also a dark and difficult side. I came closer to true crime than I ever wanted to. I found myself being friends with someone who turned out to be a killer. A horrible double murder. I know all the horrific details. And it's very double. I wanted to know the details. I wanted to be close to what really happened. But I also didn't want to be THIS close. After years, rational thinking won over my curiousity. He didn't regret what he did, he was still (literally) laughing about the killing. He was still obsessed with it, in a glorifying way. So I ended the friendship. Thank you so much, Skynd, for being in my life. You are filling up my blanks 🥰

I had a chance to tell you my story personally this year in Prague. And it is a treasured moment for me the same as when I heard your music the first time. That lucky moment me not skipping the youtube ad because of washing dishes. Hearing the intro made of a piece of Ed Kemper's interview, the start of the music and finally your absolutely stunning and beautiful strong voice during the chorus in the beginning. You got me there. Immediately fallen in love with the music. I remember sprinting to the living room to check what is this song and seeing the clip. The make-up, the pattern of the coat (haven't seen this pattern to suit anyone quite good as on you), the visual of the clip was so great. And then the lyrics. So many fine details and I'd say 'easter eggs' in those words. It is crazy how thorougly you study the cases and pick the lines for the song. I needed to hear and see more. I knew almost all the cases as I watched some documentaries about them. There I saw John Wayne Gacy - 'Exit through the crawl space or into the river..', Nightstalker Ramirez - 'Hell, I see you in Disneyland'... With the thumbnail for Ramirez I haven't even seen the name of the song and I thought to myself seeing the make-up: 'This could be Ramirez.' And sure it was! That blew my mind. Damn I need to see them live!! As if someone wanted it you were in Sasazu a month later. And they even said I can take my camera as a photographer. For that I will be forever grateful to you to have the opportunity. That is why I took two of the best photos, printed them, framed them, bought the VIP ticket and brought them for you as at least a small thank you for making my days happier with your music. Fan forever. Thank you Skynd <3 .

I discovered Skynd in 2021 when a colleague played Columbine in his car. I immediately liked the song, and he explained that every Skynd track is based on a real crime case. My first thought was, "How fitting, I love true crime." I've always been fascinated by how incredibly cruel some people can be, but also by the psychological background behind these crimes and the circumstances that can lead someone to commit such horrific acts. Then I watched the Columbine music video. I was shocked and fascinated at the same time. The brutality conveyed through the song, combined with the visuals, felt like art, disturbing, raw, and real. That was my connection to the dark place. After that, I listened to every Skynd song, read the lyrics, and researched the real cases behind them. I fell in love with every detail. You can feel the emotions of each case deep under your skin. Your music doesn't just tell these stories, it makes you feel them. Thank you for creating this unique form of art. Thank you for your music. I truly love it, and I always will 🖤

I discovered SKYND in 2024 through YouTube recommending me the song ‘Violets are Blue”, my mother always had true crime shows playing on the tv and once I listened to more and more songs from SKYND, I also discovered that they make true crime music, and once I found that out, I immediately became interested in listening to more of the songs and I’ve always liked true crime even as a kid, and I just find that listening to SKYND is like enjoying true crime but through music, thank you SKYND for creating this really creative and unique style of music, I will always love it forever 🖤

Marty

I've always been into the darker side of things since I can remember and always been fascinated by true crime, especially how some you would think are the happiest and nicest people ever but turn out to have a massive dark secret, and how people can just snap along with the psychologically around it. And I've been absolutely loving your music since 2020, I was watching true crime videos on YouTube and your song Columbine got recommended and I loved the look of the video so I tried it and been in love ever since and now your my most favourite and most played artist in my entire YouTube history. And I hope you continue doing music and doing what you love, plus on a brightside you also give me hope and drive to achieve my life goals and actually feel like I can make my dreams happen eventually

The childhood trauma I carry led me to the dark place. I am trying to understand why those atrocities were inflicted upon me in order to find acceptance. Music is my safe place. Thank you Skynd.

My need to understand the darkness in humanity. A need to understand how society and mental health can make someone succumb to their dark urges.; and how can I have so much in common with so many serial killers, but have managed to keep my demons in control? Cults especially have always intrigued me. The charismatic ways of the leaders, and the unconscious need to be accepted and find faith that the followers feel. Heavens Gate is my personal obsession. The freedom to leave and return, the fact ex-members committed suicide after hearing the news of the mass suicide. Marshall had so many rules, really strict guidelines, a whole book. They were so public and and had their own website and TV spot. They made announcements in newspapers and held seminars. There is is still so much we don't know about Heaven's Gate, and it's so fascinating that their website is still in operation. I found The Dark Place when Jim Jones randomly played on my Slipknot radio. I am oddly protective of the truth about cults, so to hear Skynd sing lines like, "... White Knight drink Flavor-Aid cyanide" and, "...no more pain now Nine o nine souls, it's easy I'm gonna take on all your battles.." had me hooked. I had to experience more, and I have not turned back. Skynd handles these cases with such respect and dignity. You can hear the passion, and dedication in every line and every word.

KT Sapphire-Star

It was the music that grabbed me first but when I realised that SKYND is all about true crime, I became even more obsessed as I feel we need to learn from the darkness in the past to ensure there's light in the future.

I came here because there are real monsters out there and they all have a human face. I live in Wichita, KS. I was around 13 to 14 years old when BTK decided to make a 'comeback' . Thankfully, he got arrested but watching him on the tv, I realized I remember this guy. I was really young, like 5 or 6. It was at a Dillons parking lot and he was selling popcorn with the boy scouts. Fortunately that was the only interaction with the guy but that doesn't stop your mind from imaging the worst. In a way, this got me prepared when my cousin got murdered by her two 'friends'. They targeted her so they could 'practice'. Their plan was to do a mass shooting at the school but they got caught. One of them had the audacity to blame horror movies as justification. I hope they never get out.
