Not My God is an industrial supergroup formed in 2020 by Nero Bellum (Psyclon Nine) and Tim Skold (Skold, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson). The project represents a pivot away from the high-bpm aggression of 2000s industrial toward a more textured, modular-synth-focused aesthetic.
Their sound identity is defined by Bellum's obsession with analog synthesis and Skold's veteran songwriting, resulting in a 'neo-futuristic' sound that emphasizes sonic depth over sheer volume. Critically, they are viewed as leaders in a modern industrial revival that prioritizes atmosphere and cinematic composition. Their career arc has seen them move from the raw, experimental foundations of their debut to the more polished and expansive 'Simulacra' and 'Obverses'. Culturally, they occupy a space at the intersection of darkwave, EBM, and industrial metal, appealing to a demographic that values both technical synth mastery and the legacy of 90s industrial rock. Their influence web connects the early pioneers of noise with contemporary dark electronic movements.
