Limited edition of strictly 500 on BLACK Vinyl. As with their two
latest albums, which were heralded by the singles "The Bad Luck Bird" and
"Mr Cruel", Neofolk spearheads Sol Invictus, led for 29 years now by the
incomparable and cynical Tony Wakeford, let us glimpse at their next
record "Necropolis" (release date tba.) by means of another seven inch:
"The Last Man" The single's A-side with its catchy rhythm and vocal line
is a potential Sol Invictus live classic, yet succeeds in adding a new
dimension to the group's sound cosmos by incorporating a full choir. The
B-side, "Your Master's Voice", is an exemplary Sol Invictus track and
exclusive to this single. As always, Tony Wakeford explains the core of
the title song in his very own way: "'The Last Man' is an echo from dead
London. The bells of London gossip amongst the smog of capitalism and
industry. A child's nursery rhyme accompanied by booming bass and thudding
drums. In one hand a candle to light you to bed, in the other a chopper to
cut off your head. Now close your eyes and
choose." |
