Description

Rare original Tursa records pressing. Signed by Tony Wakeford with an ink pen on black baground

Influential and prolific dark neo-folk group founded by British musician Tony Wakeford (formerly of Death In June) in 1987. Sol Invictus 1994 album, The Death Of The West, is a fan favourite for most Sol Invictus fans not in the least thanks to the famous title-track next to Our Lady Of The Wild Flowers and Sheath And Knife. This album was originally going to be a mini-album with new version of two songs from Lex Talionis, namely Amongst The Ruins and Kneel To The Cross, and the title track but the project grew so far that eventually resulted in a whole album. Sol Invictus version of Death Of The West, is considerably different than the Death In June original, and i must say that i prefer this version than the two Lex Talionis versions of the other two tracks. especially Amongst The Ruins with cello on it. In addition, however, the traditional songs are indulged. The live classic Sheath And Knife, on whose text Tony Wakeford was brought by a young Andrew King, but also the melancholic Come, Join The Dance stand for this direction. When the album ends with the mighty In The West with the lines “See the gods bow their heads, the sun is setting in the west”, you’ve finally captured the mood of decline. Apocalyptic folk in perfection.
