SKYCLAD
"Another Fine Mess"
(Demolition Recs)
This band is ( or was , i’m not sure if he’s with them anymore)
the one started by MARTIN WALKYER , singer of British
Gods SABBAT. This album contains a variety
of live songs and rare tracks
taken from their “Outrageous Fortunes” Ep. The 9 tracks
recorded live are from their appereance in the 95 Dynamo Open Air and
belong to their Nosie Records years. SKYCLAD is widely known in
Europe , but raher unknown in this side of the
world ( i had listened to some mp3 but this is the first time tha i
listen to a full cd). They play
folk-heavy metal including keyboards and violin, but i don’t mean
folk-heavy meatl as the one played by some gay power metal bands RHAPSODY
type of band. First of all Martin Walkyer’s voice is really unique ,
powerful and live sounds totally agressive and epic, just as it should be,
the use of keyboards and violin to play this traditional
heavy metal is just
rright. I think SKYCLAD
have really developed
their own sound , very heavy and with feeling, the last three songs on the “Outrageous
Fortunes” ep show a more symphonic side of SKYCLAD. You
even hear some 70’s psychodelia in their music, i think they
sound just like KANSAS.
For those who don’t know SKYCLAD
this cd is just right to get to know them , if you already
listen to their music well, get the live , meanwhile i’ll start
loooking around for their previous works.Himnos
