  • Skyclad was formed in 1990 by Martin Walkyier (recently departed from Sabbat (2)) and Steve Ramsey with a view to create the %22ultimate pagan metal band%22. Skyclad are considered by many to be pioneers of folk metal; their earlier work is characterized by Thrash - not entirely dissimilar to Walkier's previous band Sabbat, albeit with ever increasing Folk influences. On later albums the band progressed away from their Thrash roots and became gradually more Folk-influenced, settling into a style more akin to early Heavy Metal.Founder member Martin Walkyier departed the band in 2001, leaving Rhythm guitarist and longtime producer Kevin Ridley to take over vocal duties.Current MembersKevin Ridley: vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar (1998- )Steve Ramsey: lead guitar, acoustic guitar, backing vocals (1990- )Graeme English: bass guitar, acoustic guitar, classical guitar (1990- )Georgina Biddle: fiddle, keyboard, piano (1994- )Arron Walton: drums, percussion (2001- )
dbo:abstract
  • Skyclad are a British heavy metal band with heavy folk influences in their music. They are considered one of the pioneers of folk metal. The etymology behind the term %22skyclad%22 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 %22Skyclad%22 on their first album.
