Sommaire

Musical Work

Pre-Sol Invictus Work

Wakeford was the bassist for the English political punk band Crisis from 1977 until the band's termination in 1980. He then formed Death In June with Crisis guitarist Douglas Pearce and Patrick Leagas (currently a member of Mother Destruction). Wakeford was asked to leave Death In June after recording the Burial album in 1984, but remained in good terms with Pearce, appearing on stage with him much later. He formed Above the Ruins and recorded one album, Songs of the Wolf before disbanding the group in favour of a period of restful study. After devoting a short period to magical and political interests, he formed Sol Invictus in 1987.

Sol Invictus

For information relating to Tony Wakeford's primary group, see Sol Invictus.

Tursa

Wakeford formed his own label, Tursa, to release his material and the music of other like-minded artists. This material was previously distributed worldwide by the World Serpent Distribution company. Tursa is now distributed in Europe by Dark Vinyl, and in North America by Strange Fortune.

Secondary Musical Projects

Wakeford has always been the primary force in Sol Invictus. He has also composed Classical music whilst recording outside the framework of Sol Invictus. He has subsequently brought transformative concepts into the familiar terrain of his principle group. He formed L'Orchestre Noir in the mid-1990s to explore classical and soundtrack composition. His early 90's collaborative work with Steven Stapleton also produced exceedingly experimental recordings that are radically different from Sol Invictus material.

Neofolk

Although he generally refers to his own work as Sol Invictus as folk noir, Wakeford has long been influential in the neofolk scenes that continue to flourish throughout Europe, contributing to their development not only through musical influence, print media (ON - The World And Everything In It (1996)), releasing material on his Tursa label but also by playing live with various acts he has influenced through Sol Invictus or his previous work with Death In June at shows.
