Prince of the Poverty Line is the fourth full-length studio album by British folk metal group Skyclad. It is a loose concept album about urban decay in post-Thatcherite Britain.
According to Kevin Ridley, producer and, from 1997, a full band-member, this album remains their biggest seller. Many people consider it to be the band's masterwork.
The US edition of the album contains the studio tracks from the Skyclad EP Tracks from the Wilderness as alternate bonus tracks, including the Thin Lizzy cover, "Emerald":
