Kevin Ridley of Skyclad fame was looking for something to do whilst his band was on a hiatus, or having a break. He decided to approach people for a temporary sidekick, just to have some fun. But when he found out how easily they were gelling and how infectious the music is that they were writing, it started to turn out that this might become a permanent fixture.

 

Well, I for one am glad it has. This is easy listening Medieval Rock/Metal with Viking elements. Yes, a lot lighter and more mellow than Skyclad ever was, and that is not a bad thing. The reason I say that is that now the melodic side voice of Kevin Ridley gets the chance to shine. And he takes the bull by the horns and is without question the star of the show. But, let us not forget that to become a star the people around you will have to able to make you light up in just the right way. And boy, do they do just that.

 

Like I said, this is very pleasant and easy listening, so if you’re expecting a Metal explosion please look the other way. If, on the other hand, you really do like to relax in between all the heavy attacks and enjoy a lighter pace and atmosphere, go ahead. Theigns & Thralls will provide just that.
