After being asked to leave Death in June, Tony Wakeford formed Above the Ruins and released one album, Songs of the Wolf. The album's sound was similar to the dark post-punk of early Death In June. Wakeford then took a few years off to study magic and politics, and when he returned to making music in 1987 it was under the name of Sol Invictus.
