Jeg fant en video i mailbunken, den deler jeg selvsagt. Skive kommer 28. april.

Ridley/Skyclad: "When we first started discussing doing videos for the new Skyclad album with director/editor Fernando J. Martínez, we decided that didn't want to do 'typical' band videos and for Change Is Coming we wanted to do our own take on a lyric video. The images help to show the extent of the problems humanity has created and our seeming inability to make much progress in tackling them and, indeed, some people's disregard for the consequences."

Nyhet fra 20.02.17:

I slutten av april kommer det nytt album fra Skyclad.

Mange husker sikkert dette bandet, som hadde tidligere Sabbat-vokalist Martin Walkyier på de ti første skivene? Joda, du husker dette bandet. Uansett, i april er det duket for nytt album, det er franske Listenable som slipper denne.

"Newcastle Upon Tyne’s very own Skyclad announce the release of their upcoming and 13th studio album entitled Forward Into The Past following their previous full length In the… All together released in 2009. Forward Into The Past also marks the return of guitarist Dave Pugh to Skyclad's line-up as a permanent member."

Bandet er kjent for sin hybrid av metal og folkrock, og hvor tekstene ofte har vært politiske og miljøbevisste. Dette kommende er ikke noe unntak, noe gitarist Kevin Ridley forklarer: "The songs are about politics, the environment and the music business and so on. These are mixed with the standard Skyclad fayre of traditional bawdy/drinking type of songs and songs with blues and more ethnic feels."

28. april er slippdato.
