English neofolk singer noted for solo albums including The Bitter Harvest, The Amfortas Wound and Deus Ignotus. Frequently associated with Tony Wakeford and Sol Invictus.

Reviewed work Deus Ignotus is presented as mostly reworkings of European ballads and texts; reviewer describes King as a learned medievalist and highlights collaborations on Deus Ignotus with Hunter Barr (instrumentalist/producer), John Murphy (percussion) and violinist Maria Vellanz. The review states King has sung on Tony Wakeford's Into the Woods, The Triple Tree's Ghosts, and on the Sol Invictus album The Cruellest Month.

A detailed, scholarly review that praises Andrew King's commanding baritone and the learned, medievalist approach behind Deus Ignotus. The album is called challenging but, within its genre, remarkable. Recommended for listeners of neofolk and experimental folk.

For:Fans of neofolk, apocalyptic/medieval-inspired folk, Sol Invictus/Blood Axis listeners, and those who enjoy experimental industrial-tinged folk.

 However, listened to calmly, “Deus Ignotus” is not bad at all; indeed, in its genre it can be seen as a masterpiece, a cultured work, very cultured, but not for every occasion.
