Band: Skyclad

Status:
Skyclad is noteworthy as being one of the earliest bands to combine folk elements with heavy metal. In their case, the metal aspect exists on more traditional lines with some crisp thrash appearing on later albums. The band is also noted for its clever album and song titles provided by one-time leader Walkyier, who left in early 2001 to reform Sabbat. Wayward Sons..., Silent Whales... and Folkemon are perhaps the best but all albums are worthwhile.
