Apologies to Sol Invicto

Halfway through writing the previous post I realised that I've been spelling the title of Sol Invicto's EPs Initium and Initium II incorrectly for almost a year. Bugger.

At least it's a pretty easy mistake to correct, and since no one corrected me, I'm assuming no one had even noticed.

Also, you can find where to download both EPs by clicking on the links above. The first track from Initium III will be released next weekend. Yes please!

Here's the next track off Sol Invicto's second EP. The first track, 13.0, was released back in December 2012. From comments posted on the band's Facebook page, it sounds as though that version of 13.0 was a demo. The new track is entitled 8.0, and follows on from where the last EP, Initium left off. Listen to, download, and share 8.0 below.

(Un)official Sol Invicto videos.

I first came across Sol Invicto a few months ago, when looking for something else. Sol Invicto is comprised of producer Richie Londres (Cultura Londres Proyecto), A.J. Cookson, Stephen Carpenter (Deftones), Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill) and Dan Foord (Sikth). The music is a mix of drum & bass and electro, infused with Carpenter's signature guitar riffs. The band is set to release their second EP in the next few days.

The following videos to accompany tracks from the first EP Initium were entirely fan-made. Both have imagery of a dystopian future reminiscent of those from cult music videos by Nine Inch Nails, science fiction movies such as iRobot, The Matrix, The Terminator, Avatar and The Island, as well as from award winning computer games like Command & Conquer, Half-Life and Portal, interspersed with archival footage and stills of historical protests. All in all, the videos are incredibly well done and are a good visual accompaniment to the music.
