Album Notes & Community Reviews

A crucial evolutionary milestone for the British pioneers of folk metal, 'The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea' perfectly balances the aggression of their thrash roots with highly intricate, traditional fiddle arrangements. Frontman Martin Walkyier delivers incredibly dense, politically charged lyricism heavily reliant on biting sarcasm and complex wordplay. The album firmly cemented Skyclad's entirely unique position within the 90s heavy metal landscape.
