Following in the footsteps of Amulet, Wytch Hazel, Seven Sisters, Dark Forest and Toledo Steel, Skyryder are another name to be added to the growing list of protagonists of the new wave of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. The CD EP "Vol. 1", now issued via High Roller Records on vinyl, is originally from 2018 and according to Andy Macknight "is mainly to be used as a statement of intent as well as a way of unleashing Skyryder into the world."
