Noble re-release of the Sol Invictus classic with eleven-track bonus CD

In addition to the usual portrait-format Digipak including revised artwork and liner-notes limited to 700 copies, a jam-packed bonus CD is included, containing tracks from the deleted collection of Sol Invictus rarities «The Angel», the hidden tracks from the best-of album «The Giddy Whirl of Centuries», the songs «Light me the Candle» and «Welcome» from the compilations «Writ in Water» and «Songs for Aliénor», a live recording of «Against the Modern World» from Paris that was originally included on a compilation by «Orkus» magazine in 2003, as well as the song «Owl & Pussycat.»

Sol Invictus ‎– The Devil’s Steed
Label: Auerbach Tonträger ‎– AB 050
Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue
Country: Germany
Released: 03 Feb 2012
Style: Modern Classical, Neofolk

Noble re-release of the Sol Invictus classic with four bonus tracks

Up until the release of «The Cruellest Month» in summer 2011, «The Devil’s Steed» from 2005 was Sol Invictus’ most recent album, and the one that saw Wakeford returning to a more classical folkloristic style. Apart from the customary high-quality packaging of all Sol Invictus re-releases (limited, portrait-format Digipak, revised artwork, liner notes), this new edition of «The Devil’s Steed» also includes a new version of the song ‘Looking For Europe’ (as known from the homonymous Neofolk compendium) as well as previously unreleased demo versions of the tracks ‘There Did Three Knights Come From The West’, ‘The North Ship’, and ‘The Devil’s Steed.’
