3rd album by Running Wild. This is pure heavy metal with a whole lot of speed metal riffs in the mix. Raw but catchy vocals, raw guitarwork with some unbelievable melodic material on the solos, pretty standard but very effective and heavy drumming and a powerful bass which is just loud enough. This is their first release referring to pirate theme.

Skyclad's 2nd album saw the inclusion of a full time fiddle player Fritha Jenkins which saw a greatly increased folk influence in their music. Even with the folk elements getting more prominent this is still for the most part a thrash album, but the real beginnings of the Skyclad sound, which has carried them through 20 years, was starting to take shape on this release.
