Apocalyptic Folk Bands such as Changes, Death in June, Current 93, Sol Invectus and others of this musical type probably best exemplify the genre. Prophecy, a German based label has recently ( 2005 ) released a compendium of such music and it's roots. It is a 4 CD compilation called " Looking For Europe ", the title of which is taken from a key phrase from the lyrics of a ballad ( of the same name ) written by Tony Wakeford of the band Sol Invictus.

half in German and half translated into English which discusses such groups and strives to define the genre's attributes and themes. There is also a full length book
( German language ) from which the liner notes draw their source.
