SKYCLAD are continuing to write material for their forthcoming CD, tentatively scheduled for a March 2003 release. Among the song titles set to appear on the as-yet-untitled album are the following:

01. Parliament Of Fools
02. Anotherdrinkingsong
03. A Good Day To Bury Bad News
04. The Roman Wall Blues
05. Survival Campaign

According to the web site of Demolition Records, SKYCLAD have completed work on over 18 rough song ideas with 12-14 tracks set to appear on the finished CD.

As previously announced, the band will be appearing at the Velo-Rock Festival in Ostend, Belgium on September 7th.

SKYCLAD, featuring new vocalist Kevin Ridley (who replaced Martin Walkyier earlier in the year), will now release their new single, entitled “Swords Of A Thousand Men”, through Demolition Records on December 4th. 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. As previously reported, "Swords…", which was originally recorded by TENPOLE TUDOR in 1981, was released as a bonus track on SKYCLAD’s last studio album Folkemon (with Martin Walkyier on vocals), and it includes a guest appearance by TENPOLE TUDOR mainman Eddie Tenpole. Also featured on the single is a reworked version of "The Widdershins Jig", a SKYCLAD standard that showcases the band’s progression over the last few years. Both tracks are taken from the band's new album No Daylights... Nor Heeltaps, due for release later this month, which is a collection of reworked SKYCLAD favorites inspired by their successful stints of "unplugged" shows across Europe.
