The Blade is the ninth studio album by the English band Sol Invictus, released in 1997. It continues the classical instrumentation established on the band's preceding album, In the Rain (1995), but adds more martial drums and electric guitar. The frontman Tony Wakeford brought in two classically trained musicians, Eric Roger on trumpet and cornet and Matt Howden on violin, with whom he had worked in his other band L'Orchestre Noir.[1]
Reception
Cesare Buttaboni and Marco De Baptistis of Ondarock said the first half of the album is interesting and the second is "gorgeous", highlighting the tracks "The House Above the World", "Laws and Crowns" and "See How We Fall".[2]
