Skyclad

Skyclad, formed in 1990 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, is known as one of the pioneering bands in the folk metal genre. Their innovative mix of heavy metal with traditional folk music elements set them apart early in their career. Skyclad's lyrics often delve into social and environmental issues, blending sardonic wit and insightful commentary, all set to a tapestry of violin-infused melodies and hard-edged guitar riffs. Their sound is distinctive not only for its musical blend but also for its thought-provoking message.

Over the years, Skyclad has released numerous albums that showcase their evolving style, starting with their raw and powerful debut "The Wayward Sons of Mother Earth" in 1991. Key albums like "Prince of the Poverty Line" and "The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea" have cemented their reputation. Their longevity in the industry is a testament to their willingness to experiment and adapt while staying true to the spirit of their genre-blending roots. Albums like "In The... All Together" and "Forward into the Past" illustrate the band's continued relevance and ability to invigorate their sound with fresh ideas, maintaining a loyal fan base even several decades into their career. Skyclad’s live performances, as captured in "Skyclad Live at the Dynamo '95", further demonstrate their dynamic stage presence and ability to connect with audiences worldwide.
