As far as the studio tunes went, “Emerald” (a cover) is a mid-paced power metal song and has a lot of harmonizing between the guitar and violin during its course, with dueling guitar solos near the end. “A Room Next Door” has clean guitar and vocalist Martin Walkyier sings (which he usually performs in growls) the majority of the song before it changes to power metal, not having any folk to it at all unlike Skyclad’s previous release did, which “When All Else Fails” doesn’t either, being mostly thrash metal with a few tempo changes and the like.
