		Martin also did all of us Sabbat fans a favor by keeping the same vocal stlye he had in Sabbat, which was a vocal style that has to be heard to be believed.
		Martin realized, in his own way as he always does, that a lot of kids in the world know unimportant mundane things like all of the names of the hundreds of Pokemon characters, but they don't know where countries are on a globe or what the capitals are of certain countries.
		After Martin left the band, a lot of fans were left wondering what would happen now since most fans thought of Martin as the heart and soul of the band.

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews
		Walkyier has a distinctive shriek, actually not too far removed from a fl metal sound, with an incredibly evil tone when he wanted it.
		One thing that stood out about Sabbat from the start was their catchy songwriting, and a big part of that was the degree of syncopation Walkyier imbued his vocal lines with, making every chorus one you could never forget.
		Lyrics were always a highlight of this band, as Martin Walkyier was both eloquent and dedicatedly pagan.

	Martin Walkyier Double Standards?? - Message Board - ezboard.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I DO NOT agree with the way Martin has acted towards this band since his departure, personally I had hoped upon his exit that things would remain amicable between the two partys and that we as fans could look forward to 2 different projects.
		Unfortunately Martin seems to be trying to force us to choose one fraction from the other, and all he will succeed in doing is driving a lot of people away from him and this I feel is a tremendous shame as the guy is very talented.
		Personally I thought Martins slags of first the Dynamo live CD - where the sound quality ain't that bad at all for a live CD and then Heeltaps for using his lyrics were fairly out of order.

	BLABBERMOUTH.NET - Ex-THE CLAN DESTINED Bassist: MARTIN WALKYIER Has Rights To EP
		Former THE CLAN DESTINED/IMMORTAL bassist Iscariah has issued a statement regarding THE CLAN DESTINED singer Martin Walkyier's (ex-SKYCLAD) apparent decision to utilize the group's recently recorded mini-CD despite being the sole remaining member of the group.
		I love Martin's vocals and his lyrics and i love Iscariah's playing (what he did with Immortal and Necrophagia's great, i can't wait to hear the Clan Destined).
		Martin Walkyier has made a lasting impression in my and in, no doubt, thousands of other souls.

		The disaster struck in early 2001, when Martin Walkyier announced that he was leaving the band to reform Sabbat.
		Martin has abandoned his growles for good at this point and sings with a good and clean, yet still angry, voice.
		Walkyier blames chemistry (I'm a chemist) for ecological crisis of Planet Earth, forgetting that it's people with power (politicians and "big business" corporations) are the ones who abuse scientific discoveries, and that it's chemists who are working on improving the ecology, inventing cleaner and safer ways for using natural resources.

	SABBAT-HISTORY OF A TIME GONE FOREVER
		Lyrically, Martin’s lyrics were light years ahead of other bands and intelligence was brought into the mix from more than just a lyrical perspective.
		Martin came up with a new incarnation called Skyclad, while Andy Sneap went on with a band called “Godsend” and did one album and is today a well respected producer routing his knowledge and apparently crafty skill into metal bands everywhere.
		If you were ever a fan of Martin Walkyier and Sabbat, or a fan of Skyclad, please come to the message board.

		The band released two albums through Noise Records with Martin Walkyier as vocalist, "History of a Time to Come" (1987) and "Dreamweaver" (1989), both of which are excellent and were well received around the country, demonstrating a quick fire vocal abilities and clever lyrical wordplay of Walkyier.
		After the release of "The Answer Machine" the band took their first hiatus from recording as up until this point the band had recorded more than an album a year since they started, which is probably the most impressive feat of all considering their consistent excellence.
		There is also no denying that Martin Walkyier is the best lyricist in metal, and you won't find many people who would disagree with me on this front.

	Skyclad - A Semblance Of Normality - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When vocalist and founding member Martin Walkyier left the British folk metallers Skyclad in 2001 it was a very important moment in the band's career.
		Kevin Ridley, who took over the microphone duties when Martin left, is doing a wonderful job on this album and in a way I'm glad that they have parted ways with their old vocalist.
		It will be very interesting to see what Martin Walkyier is up to in the future but Skyclad is still around and now in 2004 they release yet another strong album.

		Martin: When The Clan Destined project was in its early stages we talked with a lot of people about the possibility of them becoming involved.
		Martin: When we began work on The Clan Destined I decided to give-up my old site, as it was proving to be a bit of a drain on my time and energy.
		Martin: As I'm sure you can imagine, leaving a band which you formed and worked together with for over 10 years is not a decision to be taken lightly.

	METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Skyclad - A Semblance Of Normality
		Although the label released the group's 2000 album, "Folkemon", they didn't lift a finger to promote it, and after longtime vocalist, Martin Walkyier, left the band, SKYCLAD was punted from the label like a Spalding football.
		Yes, Martin Walkyier is the best lyricist in metal; yes, his staccato bark and bitter delivery are irreplaceable - which is why the band didn't even try.
		The main songsmith Steve Ramsey remains, and although Kevin's lyrical-style is more subtle and not as pun-peppered as Martin's, the lyrics are still quite well written, with the level of intelligence that SKYCLAD fans have come to expect.

		His schoolfriend Martin Walkyier was the singer with "Hydra".
		The two had recently had some problems with their guitarist who prefered the melodious side of Metal where as Martin and Frazer wanted to play the music they both listened to: fast and hard Metal as played by Metallica, Slayer and Mercyful Fate.
		Martin Walkyier's lyrics led him off into the land of mystery and imagination, soon the dwarfs, fairies, goblins and wizards were leaping through his head and all over the room.

		The band released a couple of very good albums but their final release in 1991 lacked a lot of the things that made their first albums unique and the band broke up in the middle of their tour following shortly upon the release of the album.
		Martin Walkyier went on to form Skyclad and Andy Sneap became a famous producer.
		In 2001 Martin Walkyier reformed the band under the new name Return To The Sabbat with former members Frazer Craske and Simon Jones.

		Back in 2004 former SKYCLAD frontman Martin Walkyier announced the birth of THE CLAN DESTINED, a collaborative effort with ex-Immortal/Necrophagia bassist Iscariah to create their own unique brand of metal mayhem (see BW&BK #78).
		It was anything but an amicable split, with Walkyier on one side and the rest of the band on the other, both sides laying claim to the music with lawyers on board to keep things fair and square.
		Ultimately it was Walkyier that ended up releasing The Clan Destined’s first and last outing, aptly named In The Big Ending… It not only represents the end of Walkyier’s dream of creating something special, but the end of his career as a professional musician.

		They released two outstanding albums in the late eighties, but friction between various band members started to develop, some of which was centered around Walkyier's continuation of his pagan lyrical themes.
		Bassist Frazer Craske left, and then so did Walkyier, who went on to form the highly successful Skyclad.
		Sneap later formed a band called Godsend (not the Swedish doom band Godsend), and is now a highly regarded metal record producer, having produced albums by Skinlab, Exodus, and others.

	Skyclad- A Semblance of Normality
		The second assumption I made was that Martin, because of his history with Sabbat, brought the heaviness to this band.
		Kevin has a bit of the same delivery as Martin, but his voice is more melodic and his accent adds an ethnic feel to the music.
		The music is a perfect blend of folk and heavy metal and the lyrics, although a little lighter than the Martin era, are still witty reflections on what’s happening in today’s world.

		The conversation got a little heated and I explained they couldn't do it under the name Sabbat as both he and Frazer quit leaving me and Simon with alot of debts and financial problems to clear up.
		I know Martin will go on about the third album, but we were in a situation that we were forced into back then.
		Martin is a very talented guy and should look forward and focus on things new, and I don't wish any of them ill feelings."

		Not being overly familiar with the early stuff, it all sounded rather new to me and I could suddenly hear the melodies of the music, the energy of the band, and the Skyclad trademark - that folk metal sound that pops up in other bands nowadays.
		For your information, the live tracks were recorded back in 1995 at the Dynamo Festival in Europe, which meant the time when Martin Walkyier was still on vocals.
		Martin chats with the crowd and there is a certain genuineness in his performance.

		The new cryptic pagan metal project featuring former Sabbat frontman Martin Walkyier is ready to roll.
		It is with an enormous sense of pride that The Clan Destined is finally able to announce the line-up which we’ve assembled in order to spearhead our initial musical offensive.
		This dedicated team of musicians is currently working very hard to complete the debut, self-financed TCD demo-recordings, which will eventually become the culmination of several years painstaking lyric-writing and musical composition.

		Original due to be issued in late October, the single’s release was delayed “due to the logistics of trying to co-ordinate all of the arrangements” involved in the release.

		Though it's hard to take a band like Skyclad, already known for a wide berth of humor, seriously when the group names its tenth album Folkemon, the title actually conceals vocalist/lyricist Martin Walkyier 's penchant for highly animated and thought-provoking (albeit disjointedly thought-provoking) lyrics.
		But even if Walkyier's pub-shouted, ale-soaked musings aren't to your liking, the music to be found here, with its exceptionally melodic sweep and throttle, is alone worth the price of admission.
		The band sounds like some awkwardly beautiful hybrid offspring of Metallica and a local Saturday night tavern gathering of Celtic folk musicians, and the songs themselves runneth wildly over with memorable, fist-pumping riffs that strike gold against the interplay of the various instruments (Steve Ramsey 's majestic, Hammett-esque lead work in particular).

		The metal world and mine's especially, shook when it was known that Martin was out of Skyclad, certainly a surprise, when considering that a short time before that, te band's return to form album, Folkemon, was released.
		I heard about martin leaving skyclad, and I decided to send him some songs I wrote, I guess he liked them because he contacted me and said he wanted us to work together, the rest of the story, you've heard.
		What w we created is something new, the most important thing to us is creating something which is of high quality, which I believe we did, but the music cannot easily be defined.

		Skyclad was formed in 1990 by the pair of Martin Walkyier and Steve Ramsey, Walkyier fresh from his departure from the highly regarded thrash band Sabbat and Ramsey (along with third partner Graeme English) formerly of Satan and Pariah.
		Their goal was to blend hardened metal with a folk influence, and in doing so they came up with one of the most original and interesting sounds in some time.
		Though this appeared to be a serious blow to the band, the remaining members refused to throw in the towel, recruiting vocalist/guitarist Kevin Ridley to take over the lead vocalist role.
