About

Neo-folk/post industrial. Sol Invictus projects the dark obsessions and humour of its founder Tony Wakeford. Tony's career began in the punk group Crisis, before progressing through Death In June to the formation of Sol in 1987. Tony has also worked with other artists including Current 93 and recorded with Andrew Liles and Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound and the ambient musician and artist Tor Lundvall.
As well as these collaborations he has also recorded several albums under his own name, the most recent being "Not All Of Me Will Die" released by the Israeli Eastern Front label. Tony's other more recent projects include the neoclassical Orchestra Noir, and The Triple Tree.
Tony's pessimistic vision of humanity and inhumanity is a very singular one, and he has maintained it by remaining the only permanent member of Sol, bringing in combinations of other musicians as required for each album or performance.
