A good album, but not the best of Sol Invictus.
The Hill of Crosses by Sol Invictus maintains their apocalyptic folk style but lacks the inspiration of previous releases. The album features skilled musicians, with notable moments like the jazz-influenced "December Song" and a Lithuanian folk cover. While the title track stands out as a classic, the overall similarity of songs and less compelling vocals from Tony Wakeford hold the album back. Recommended mainly for dedicated fans.

'Holocaust Hymns' might delight anyone who loves the most direct and belligerent punk without expecting too much.
The review assesses Crisis’ compilation album 'Holocaust Hymns', highlighting its significance more as a historical punk artifact than a musical milestone.

Fans of direct punk may find it engaging, though apocalyptic folk enthusiasts should look elsewhere. Dive into 'Holocaust Hymns' for an authentic slice of British punk history and discover the roots of apocalyptic folk.
