Sol Invictus are the godfathers of classic Apocalyptic Folk. With "The Cruellest Month," they release their first album for six years and mark their long-awaited debut for Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. "The Cruellest Month" has turned out to be a typical Sol Invictus album in every regard. Music-wise, it's angular, combative, painful, with pessimistic and cynical lyrics. As well as songs poison-penned by Tony Wakeford (ex of the legendary Death In June), the album also contains a number of traditional songs. "The Cruellest Month" sees Tony Wakeford finding back to his true strengths, cementing the position of Sol Invictus as the spearheads of the Neofolk genre.
