'With a riff on one hand and a pint in the other '... Thus was born one of the most original bands and better quality of the last decade of the century. And there's nothing better than a dismal Newcastle pub, good pint of beer and a reunion of old friends to form a good group. We do not know the name of the pub or the number of pints they fell, but we do know that one of those cold, gray afternoon northwest English, Martin Walk, which had some 'burning' after two albums released with Sabbat, and Steve Ramsey and Graeme Inglés, two inseparable
old dogs (Satan, Pariah ...) plus colleague Keith Baxter, 'engendered' Skyclad. They did so with much success, to cast in his music influences from the Thrash Metal Walk with the more traditional Heavy Metal Satan, and add a splash of color that ultimately result set to be over the years the most significant hallmark Skyclad: brushstrokes 'folk', with the addition of instruments like the violin. These strokes would become more obvious and would gaining prominence with the coming of age. In this first album, however, still prevailed over Metal Thrasher, born at term as only they can do great musicians like these. Skyclad are today as an institution, with a great reputation and a well deserved recognition especially in Europe. And it could not be otherwise, because it really is one of the groups with more strength and zeal have kept alive the flame of Heavy Metal. Skyclad and a good pint of beer ... this is true happiness ....
