Here are a few great reviews already collected from friends of our page.

'For me, Sol Invictus is that rare and inspiring moment when a band, after years of hard work and experience, doesn't have anything else to prove and is relaxed enough to do their best work.   They are all exceptionally talented but I have to say that Patton has, once again, set the bar very high in terms of lyrics, melody and vibe.' - Matt Wallace
