Sol Invictus is an English neofolk and neoclassical group fronted by Tony Wakeford.
Wakeford founded Sol Invictus in order to pursue his own musical ideas. He was an original member of Crisis and Death In June with Douglas P. He formed Sol Invictus in 1987. He has been the sole constant of the group, as it continues to bring forth new forms and conceptions.
Wakeford has described Sol Invictus as a “cabaret band from Hell for the fin-de-siècle” and has referred to his work as folk noir. He has said the name “comes from a pre-Christian Rome-based cult. Many of its trappings were taken over by the church. The name means ‘the unconquered (or victorious) sun’.
