2018 release. More than 30 years after their inception, English neofolk kings Sol Invictus release their long-awaited album, Necropolis, 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. Necropolis could be called a eulogy to England's capital. Sol Invictus titled the record after The London Necropolis Railway, a railway line that has connected London with Brookwood Cemetary since 1854. But the moniker is also a nod to Wakeford's perception that the town is now a London of mausoleums and masonry" and "a city haunted by the customs and crimes of the dead and the living." Necropolis features guest guitar from Don Anderson (ex-Agalloch, Khorada) who previously lent his skills to Sol Invictus' 2014 release, Once Upon A Time. The group around Wakeford continues to explore the psychedelic side of dark folk, using acoustic guitar as a foundation enriched with piano, flute, violin, electric guitar an drums among other instruments and - for the first time - the singing of The Green Army Choir."
