Skyclad's ambitious attempt to combine thrash metal, English folk music, and medieval fantasy lyrics results in a groundbreaking - though at times understandably awkward - debut.
Skyclad are a British heavy metal band with heavy folk influences in their music. They are considered one of the pioneers of folk metal genre. The etymology behind the term "skyclad" comes from a pagan/wiccan term for ritual nudity, in which rituals are performed with the participants metaphorically clad only by the sky, as a sign of equality. The name alludes both to the band's religious leanings and to their social beliefs, as set out in the song "Skyclad" on their first album.
Skyclad are considered as the band who invented folk metal. fast paced inspired riffs, Martin’s aggressive voice, lyrics that do have something to say and of course the unique combination of folk melodies and organs with metal music. It’s just that everything is rawer and less mature than the next albums. Without this song, probably we would be referring to The Wayward Sons, as another speedy thrash metal album with interesting riffs (and a talented lyricist with exceptional voice).
