“Sincerity and integrity have always been prerogatives of Sol Invictus’ music.”
King & Queen by Sol Invictus is a respectable but uninspired album that marks a fading phase in Tony Wakeford's early work. While lacking memorable standout tracks, it features a richer ensemble sound and melancholic folk influences blending traditional English themes with progressive and singer-songwriter elements. The album remains sincere and maintains a consistent apocalyptic atmosphere, foreshadowing Wakeford's later artistic directions. Discover the nuanced melancholy of Sol Invictus’ King & Queen and explore the atmospheric apocalyptic folk soundscape.
"La Croix" is a journey into the past, in a world now lost and forever pursued. We could reproach many things about Wakeford, but not his lack of consistency, and "La Croix" is no exception: it is apocalyptic folk, baby!

Salt Marie Celeste is a masterpiece of form, that fascinates us from the hallucinogenic cover, but that is ultimately lacking in content. I challenge anyone (sane, sober, or not under the influence of drugs) to get excited about a single composition lasting an hour, in which the same theme is repeated without appreciable variations.
