Tony WakefordAnthony Charles "Tony" Wakeford is an English Pagan folk and neoclassical musician who primarily records under the name Sol Invictus. Wakeford has long been influential in the neo-folk/dark-folk scenes that continue to flourish throughout Europe under numerous appellations, including "Pagan folk", "apocalyptic folk", "folk noir", "Gothic folk", etc. All of these labels have been used to describe the folk aspect of Wakeford's oeuvre with Sol Invictus. He has 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. 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 fronting Sixth Comm). Wakeford left Death in June after recording the Burial album in 1984. He formed Above the Ruins and recorded one album, Song 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. For information relating to Tony Wakeford's primary group, see Sol Invictus. Wakeford has always been the primary force in Sol Invictus. However, he occasionally takes respites from the group in order to further pursue his own interests in styles that differ from what might end up on a Sol Invictus record. He formed L'Orchestre Noir in the mid-1990s to explore classical and soundtrack composition. His work with Steven Stapleton has produced exceedingly experimental recordings that are radically different from Sol Invictus material.
