Hello brothers and sisters. Welcome to Made of Metal. We are Berkin and Tolga. We grew up in Istanbul in the 80s and the beginning of the 90s. In those days, the metalheads were like a real community. When you saw a guy with long-hair and black clothes on the street, you would go to him and start talking. “Which bands do you listen to? What genres you like the most? and so on... We would go to bars together, go to each other’s concerts to show our support. It was a great time to be a metalhead. Now, 30 years later, the world has changed, and we find ourselves yearning for that sense of community. That's the main reason we wanted to create this channel. We know there are lots of people out there who are just like us. People who love and listen to the same bands, who have similar memories from their youth. We don’t think there are any more passionate and devoted fans than metalheads in the world, and we want us all to come together to share our love and passion for heavy metal.
Became a fan after Sabbat! Love the early stuff. Silent whales of luner sea probably my favorite, maybe Burnt offering… Songs you list are all awesome.
Was a Sabbat fan since 1988. Bought "Wayward Sons" as soon as it came out. Then got "Burnt Offering", after that it was impossible to get their releases in the US. I somehow got "Folkemon" when it came out. I traveled to the UK for the first Bloodstock festival in 2001 mostly to see the "Return to the Sabbat" reunion. Unknowingly I saw Martin's final show with Skyclad and met him briefly. Met him one other time when Sabbat did a few dates in the US in 2008. Really hope Martin puts out some more music some day.
I grew up in Greece, where Skyclad were always popular with metalheads. I never quite understood why they didn’t get more traction in the UK / US. Great band. I prefer the Walkyier era-fantastic lyrics, and I miss the gruff delivery-but the current incarnation are also very good.

Love their sound, at least in the Martin-era. Discovered them too late, and keep forgetting about them, but love any chances like this to re-discover them once more.
Good video my friend! I do agree with a lot of your points! And will in fact be seeing the new Skyclad in October of this year live! However, I did find it funny that you were explaining how good and unique their lyrics were while playing a cover song behind it all. Emerald was a cover of the Thin Lizzy song of the same title in 1976.
Let me tell you... While looking up my family tree this man came up. Not kidding either. His real name, not stage name, has a lot of interesting people in it. One ancestor road in Vlad The Impaler's army, you know him better as Dracula. One was in the last portraitist painted by Botticelli. Most were Roman soldiers. We even have a family crest. We clocked our lineage back to 86 AD. He even looks like my cousin in a few pics... interesting. If you ever talk to him tell him his cousin says hi. :)
"A Burnt Offering for the Bone Idol" was my introduction to them, as well (randomly bought it because I thought the album cover was cool) and it blew me out of the water. Still a top 10 metal album for me, to this day. Also, I thought Fritha's violin work was more suited for the band. Cath's performance on "Prince of the Poverty Line" was the weakest link, imo, and Georgie was a hell of a talent, but she didn't have a feel for Skyclad's heavier stuff, which is why they were practically an acoustic folk band by the time "The Answer Machine?" was released (great album, though ... probably their best with Georgie) I was soooo bummed about Martin's departure in 2001. I was ready to fly anywhere on the globe to see them in concert, but, alack and alas, I needed to "summon courage to admit that all good things must end" Great job on this video.
Melodic Death Metal - The same gatling but smaller Cyber metal - some fancy advanced lazer gun Progressive metal - sniper rifle (?) Christian metal - silver weaponry Doom metal - bazooka Deathcore - flamethrower or big hammer Math metal (Djent) - complicated assault rifle with night vision aim Gothic metal - knives Alt/Nü metal - knives too, maybe other sharp things Funk metal - ?????
La banda mas infravalorada que conozco,y una de las mas alucinantes que he conocido.....esta en mi top 10 de las mejores bandas de heavy metal de siempre....saludos desde Chile.
For me, Walkyier is the best lyricist in metal, and the band influenced every single folk metal band there is. I remember back in the day I saw Finntroll and they brought him out to do vocals on Trollhammeren and said as much, it was amazing.
