(1998( A Belgian group produced by Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus). Strong female vocals in French, a folksy acoustic medieval style, haunting ethereal melodies, weaving strings, and a busy acoustic guitar all characterise Algiz's debut (and to date only) release. There’s a lovely Eastern European feel to the album that suggests twirling gypsy dancers, dark eyes and tambourines, cavorting around a campfire on full moon nights. Includes a cover of Death in June's "Fall Apart."

SOL INVICTUS - 'The Blade' Signed LP (Tursa)
A return to the roots of pagan Europe, drums and all. It certainly has heroic, martial qualities but is actually very varied, drawing on three main currents: the classic Sol acoustic folk approach, ambient-orchestral parts and more experimental elements. The lyrics are about life, death and struggle, the transience of human existence, mortality and the death of God. This is signified by the inclusion of Heimgest's Odinic Gealdor - a magical chanting of the runes. The invocation of the runes encapsulates not just the fatalism of wyrd, but rather the totality of existence. Tony Wakeford is joined here by Sally Doherty and Karl Blake. Textured sleeve with foil-blocked text, complimented by an insert with all lyrics. Very last copies of this pressing. Signed by Tony Wakeford. Act fast!

SOL INVICTUS - 'The Devil’s Steed' CD (Dark Vinyl / Tursa)
Sol Invictus’s first outing on Dark Vinyl is a nod back in the direction to a more earthy folk sound. Taken from Russian folklore the title track "Steeds For The Devil" concerns suicide, while there are the usual happy Tony Wakeford songs. Two traditional songs get the Sol Invictus treatment - "Twa Corbies" and "Three Knights Came from the West". Philip Larkin’s poem "The North Ship" also becomes the basis for one song. Artwork on this release is from Tor Lundvall, with the first Limited edition coming in a 6 panel luxury digipak.

TONY WAKEFORD - 'Cupid & Death' CD (Tursa)
"Cupid & Death" is devoted to the theme of vanitas, the juxtapositioning of beauty with the fleetingness of life. While the CD contains pieces in the classic Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus) style, classical instruments are used in conjunction with keyboard and electric guitar to establish a timeless mood located somewhere between the present and the arcane. Perhaps the most impressive piece is the opening track - a 1653 baroque masque set to Tony's own music, with vocal accompaniment by Karl Blake. Also appearing: Eric Roger (Gae Bolg), Matt Howden (Sieben). Features stunning original artwork by Andrew King and Tor Lundvall.

TONY WAKEFORD - 'Into The Woods' CD (Tursa / Dark Vinyl)
Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus) is back with a new Folk Noir album. Loosely influenced by the prog records of Wakeford's youth, "Into The Woods" describes a weird England of the 60's and 70's, where pockets of woodland hold out against the encroaching suburbs. A dark England of out-of-work hangmen, dubious priests and Woman's Institute covens. "Into The Woods" features guest appearances from Kris Force (Amber Asylum), Reeve Malka and Guy Harries (Orchestra Noir), and the whole Sol Invictus crew (Caroline Jago, Andrew King, Renée Rosen). This first edition of 2000 copies is presented in a beautiful matt digipak with artwork by painter Richard Moult.
