  Skyclad are a British heavy metal band with heavy folk influences in their music. They are considered one of the pioneers of folk metal. The etymology behind the term "skyclad" comes from a pagan/wiccan term for ritual nudity, in which rituals are performed with the participants metaphorically clad only by the sky, as a sign of equality. The name alludes both to the bands' religious leanings and to their social beliefs, as set out in the song "Skyclad" on their first album.

It was located north of the Caspian, between the Volga and Ural rivers. In 1756 the Russians attempted to ban the Kazakhs from crossing the Ural River, partly to help the Bashkirs.
