DIGI PACK RE-ISSUE OF THIS 1990 SOL INVICTUS RELEASE NOW WITH BONUS TRACKS AND LINER NOTES BY TONY WAKEFORD. Under the banner of this ancient Roman solar deity, the last 20 years have seen more than a dozen albums charting a musical progression from raw, post-punk Dark Folk to ever more refined arrangements with influences from Early Music, Classical, Ambient, and Jazz. With changing musical collaborators, Wakeford presents in his unmistakable voice pessimistic visions that are equally inspired by ancient myths, modern writers, and deeply personal reflections on (the sorrows of) love and the vanity of things. Many Sol Invictus albums today stand as landmarks of their genre, Tony Wakeford is considered one of the founding fathers of Apocalyptic Folk alongside Douglas P. of Death In June and David Tibet of Current 93. After some of their records have been deleted for years, Auerbach are pleased to present the second release in their series of planned digi-pack re-issues across the Sol Invictus back catalogue. His future works will also attest to the fact that Mr. Wakeford hasn't lost his punch and that the original is always better than any copy.
