Thrones by Sol Invictus
Noble re-release of the Sol Invictus classic with eleven-track bonus CD
Apart from the early Sol Invictus catalogue that hasn't been available for a long time, Auerbach Tonträger is re-releasing the newer albums by the English godfathers of Neofolk as well of course. "Thrones", originally released in 2002, sees a special treatment. In addition to the usual portrait-format Digipak including revised artwork and liner-notes limited to 700 copies, a jam-packed bonus CD is included, containing tracks from the deleted collection of Sol Invictus rarities "The Angel", the hidden tracks from the best-of album "The Giddy Whirl of Centuries", the songs "Light me the Candle" and "Welcome" from the compilations "Writ in Water" and "Songs for Aliénor", a live recording of "Against the Modern World" from Paris that was originally included on a compilation by "Orkus" magazine in 2003, as well as the song "Owl & Pussycat."

Sol Invictus are the godfathers of classic Apocalyptic Folk, and alongside Death In June and Current 93, Tony Wakeford is rightly regarded as one of the genre's founding fathers. Under the banner of the ancient Roman sun deity, over a dozen albums were released since the mid-Eighties, chronicling an evolution from raw, post-punk Dark Folk to increasingly sophisticated arrangements.
