Nové album kultovní britské neofolkové kapely. Digipack.
More than 30 years after their inception, English neofolk kings Sol Invictus release their long-awaited new album, "Necropolis", described by the group's dean Tony Wakeford as "a record based on and brought forth from London and the serpent Thames that snakes its way through its heart" and possibly the final release from a band revered as progenitors of a dark and desperate sound.
Sol Invictus is one of the most prolific and influential bands associated with neofolk or apocalyptic folk, a form of experimental music which emerged in punk rock circles in the 1980's, blending elements of folk and industrial music with dark themes of decay, decline, and/or the destruction of Western civilization. Along with Current 93 and Death in June (both of which included Wakeford as a member), Sol Invictus has both created and guided the genre, steering it forward through to this day. Latin for 'the unconquerable Sun', Sol Invictus has...

Tony Wakeford travels back to the 1970s
With "Once Upon A Time" Sol Invictus pass through the door already opened with the vinyl single "Mr Cruel" last year and step into an alternate universe of Dark Folk, 1970s Prog Rock and Psychedelia. On his by now 18th album with his main band Tony Wakeford, the cynical godfather of Neofolk, is not only accompanied by old cohorts such as Caroline Jago, Lesley Malone, Éilish McCracken and Renée Rosen, but also receives prominent support courtesy of Agalloch-members Don Anderson (lead guitar) and Jason Walton (mix) as well as Anton Shelupanov (guest vocals and blues harp).
With the once more sharp-tongued lyrics and distinct Sol-Invictus-flair of "Once Upon A Time", Tony Wakeford skilfully manages to clearly hark back to the group's rich history. At the same time however, he incorporates new influences to add another dimension to his band's cosmos, even almost 30 years after its inception....

The return of the Neofolk legend
Sol Invictus are the godfathers of classic Apocalyptic Folk. "The Cruellest Month," their first album for six years, has turned out to be a typical Sol Invictus album in every regard. Music-wise, it is angular, combative, and painful, with pessimistic and cynical lyrics. The 17th studio album by Sol Invictus sees Tony Wakeford finding back to his true strengths, cementing the position of Sol Invictus as the spearheads of the Neofolk genre.

oble re-release of the Sol Invictus classic with four bonus tracks
Up until the release of "The Cruellest Month" in summer 2011, "The Devil's Steed" from 2005 was Sol Invictus' most recent album, and the one that saw Wakeford returning to a more classical folkloristic style. Apart from the customary high-quality packaging of all Sol Invictus re-releases (limited, portrait-format Digipak, revised artwork, liner notes), this new edition of "The Devil's Steed" also includes a new version of the song 'Looking For Europe' (as known from the homonymous Neofolk compendium) as well as previously unreleased demo versions of the tracks 'There Did Three Knights Come From The West', 'The North Ship', and 'The Devil's Steed.'

Noble re-release of the Sol Invictus classic with a nine-track bonus CD
Even though "The Hill Of Crosses" was released in 2000 and thus could be considered one of Sol Invictus' more 'recent' albums, some songs from this record have their place in many of the band's live set-lists even today - for example 'Black Dawn', 'Eve', or 'God Told Me To'. This new edition of "The Hill Of Crosses" comes as a limited, portrait-format Digipak with revised artwork, liner notes by Tony Wakeford, plus a bonus CD full of rare tracks. Apart from several songs from the deleted compilation of rarities, "The Angel", this CD also includes the tracks 'Leaves Of Life ('Stella Maris' LP Mix)' and 'God Told Me To ('The Hill Of Crosses' LP New Mix)', previously only available on the "Redroom" compilation.

As befits the album's twentieth anniversary, "The Killing Tide" is going to be re-released in a re-worked and extended edition on October 07th, 2011. Apart from the usual upgrading of our series of new Sol Invictus editions - such as a portrait-format Digipak, revised artwork, and liner notes by Tony Wakeford - the original album is going to be accompanied by seven bonus tracks: in addition to an old DAT recording of "The World Turns" and a version of "Somewhere In Europe" that was originally released on the Schock 7", you will also find five live recordings from a concert at Frankfurt's Sound Depot back in 1991.

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"...

Šesté album mistrů islandské melancholie. Digipack.
SÓLSTAFIR are not like any other band. Their sixth album 'Berdreyminn' underscores this statement. As its title "a dreamer of forthcoming events" aptly describes, the four Icelanders have taken their already impressive evolution one step further. The band has continued to amalgamate haunting melodies, psychedelic phases, as well as strong undercurrents of classic rock and hard rock with echoes of their metal past. Yet SÓLSTAFIR's focus is not on style but pure emotion. 'Berdreyminn' is eclectic by a conscious choice to make feelings audible and transform taste as well as texture to sound. Genre borders are not broken but simply ignored. Musical influences are gathered from a wide range of sources, re-arranged, and woven into new patterns. Melancholy, longing, anger, joy, pleasure, pain, and other emotions are fuelling & fulling this album.

Music will always be inspired by the environment in which it is created.
With its incredible array of highly diverse landscapes ranging from white glaciers via volcanic bizarreness, moss-green bubble-fields, deep fjords, and frost-cracked mountains to black beaches, Iceland has shaped a host of astonishingly original in SÓLSTAFIR.
More than ever, SÓLSTAFIR’s new opus ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ highlights the contrasting influences that have inspired the band over the years. Whether you’re listening to the black metal infused “Dionysus”, “Her Fall From Grace”, the gracious song “Til Modar” or a straightforward SÓLSTAFIR masterpiece “Akkeri”, the Icelanders have mastered all these elements and blended it seamlessly into one record.

V reedici vydané debutní album SOLSTAFIR z roku 2002. Black metal. Island.
Originally released in 2002, ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ (meaning 'In Blood and Spirit') is the long-lost debut album from Iceland's SOLSTAFIR. A far cry from the refined and expressive post-rock of 2011's 'Svartir Sandar', ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ is unique and primitive black metal (in the vein of early ENSLAVED). The album went out-of-print almost immediately upon its release, and has been out of circulation ever since. Now remastered, repackaged, and including a bonus second disc full of previously unreleased material, ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ is a definitive snapshot that exposes the earliest roots of this incredible band. Recommended if you like: ENSLAVED, BARONESS, MASTODON, AGALLOCH, PRIMORDIAL.
