Style: expressive folk thrash heavy metal
trying out with a guest musician on their debut, soon after Skyclad have expanded the line-up with a violinist Fritha Jenkins - this way unique model of the band is born, now recognized by a classical instrument incorporated into heavy metal context; regardless that vocalist Martin keeps rumbling in revolting, expressive manner, music of the Brits gradually gets milder from thrash to speed/heavy metal with traditional NWoBHM elements in there, subtly purifying and strengthening the folky touch; one of the strongest albums [1992] in their back catalogue is often compared to Sabbat debut, and not without reason; recent limited yellow vinyl edition comes with a remastered sound and authentic pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
