Originally intended to be an mCD, Tony Wakeford got carried away and added a lot of re-recorded songs, etc. making this a full-length.
Included is a 12-page booklet.
Sarah Bradshaw plays cello and appears as vocalist on this release.

Another great Sol Invictus record - as usual ;-). But it isn't a usual album - rather a compilation, which includes new songs, unrealeased before ones and some re-recorded old ones. Those re-recorded ones are "Kneel to the Cross" and "Amongst the Ruins" ("The Ruins" in original) from "Lex Talionis" LP - and I must say that they're even better then original. Tony also included to this album previously unreleased live song "Sheath & Knife". Only title track is new, composed (naturally) for this album - the rest are old, unreleased ones. Some of them, like "Our Lady of the Wild Flowers", "In the West" or "The West" (Tony must really have obssession with that word ;-)) are one of the best in whole Wakeford's catalogue - really tasty pieces. Another great band's album - but it's no wonder for those who know undeniable Tony's talent.
