In the mid-'80s, Current 93's sound shifted to a style Tibet has called "apocalyptic folk", combining [[folk music]] with industrial elements. Tibet has been the only constant member of Current 93, with a wide variety of collaborators joining in over the years. They have released over twenty full-length albums, as well as many other recordings.
