Martin Walkyier (born 20 September 1967) is an English singer known for his involvement in the heavy metal bands Sabbat and Skyclad.
He performed occasional concerts under the name Return to the Sabbat and started a company called Prick Tees, which designed and produced T-shirts.
The resulting album featured a DVD with a video for the song "A Beautiful Start to the End of the World," inspired by the novel Aimée und Jaguar.
According to Metal Hammer journalist Detlef Dengler, the video "is professional and looks very expensive"; however, Walkyier noted that "it cost almost nothing."
With Walkyier's friend Andy Sneap, also "a fanatic Hell supporter," they approached the remaining three members after Halliday's suicide and offered to help them as singer and guitarist, modernising the old songs.
The story, entitled Plugging Hellfire, was published in Devolution magazine and illustrated by Neil Sims, with a biography contributed by Paul Stenning.
