SOL INVICTUS · The Devil's Steed (Re-Release) | DIGIPAK CD

Re-Release digipack with new artwork + 4 bonus tracks.

Background information about 'The Devil's Steed (Re-Release)'

Sol Invictus have always walked a fine line between beauty and darkness, and "The Devil's Steed" remains one of their most haunting, poetic statements. Originally released in 2005, this re-issue breathes new life into the album with fresh artwork and a treasure trove of four bonus tracks that deepen the already rich tapestry. Tony Wakeford's vision of neofolk — steeped in English folklore, melancholic melodies, and stark acoustic arrangements — feels timeless here. Tracks like "Old London Weeps" and "Twa Corbies" carry the weight of centuries, their ancient bones wrapped in modern, fragile instrumentation. The title track gallops forward with an eerie momentum, while "O Death Come Close My Eyes" is as chilling as it is beautiful. The bonus material, including demo versions and the rare "Looking for Europe" compilation cut, offers a fascinating glimpse into the songwriting process. This is not background music — it demands attention, a quiet room, and a willingness to be moved. A re-release that feels essential rather than redundant.
