Skyclad are a British Heavy Metal band with Heavy Folk influences in their music. Skyclad’s fourth album, first released in 1994 elevated them to the status of the ultimate Pagan/Folk Metal band. The record was the perfect blend of the heaviness and aggression of Metal with the catchy, bouncing rhythms of Folk. The songs have a spectacular atmosphere and lyrical content focusing on urban and political unrest coupled with depression and existential angst. It is considered as their magnum opus by many and was critically received by both fans and industry alike.
