Above the Ruins - Songs of the Wolf LP

Infinite Fog Productions

A long-overdue reissue of Songs of the Wolf, a foundational work in the early evolution of Neofolk. Recorded in 1984 following Tony Wakeford’s departure from Death in June, the album marks a crucial transition between that project’s stark post-punk militancy and the more introspective, folk-driven sound he would later refine in Sol Invictus. First released on cassette by Grimnir in 1984 and later on vinyl by First Floor Records in 1988, both editions quickly became sought-after relics. With its austere fusion of post-punk, new wave, and subtle folk undertones, Songs of the Wolf recalls the mood of early Death in June, foreshadows Sol Invictus, and carries the brooding spirit of Joy Division. Essential listening for those interested in the roots of Neofolk and the shifting landscape of post-industrial music.
