Jacula (band)

Jacula is the name of the first musical project of Antonio Bartoccetti.

History

Founded in Milan in 1968, the group has assets of three albums, In CaudaSemper Stat venenum 1969.

Already announced their fourth album on the official website of Antonius Rex, titled ”Mystic Voices”.
Theirs is a unique sound for its time, able to mix dark influences, progressive and above all cursed psychotic dirges taken directly from another dimension of the medium Franz Parthenzy that went into a trance and “dictating” the coordinatesfor the lyrics of the group. One of the few real examples of a very esoteric musicthat looked to the occult as a possibility for an afterlife.
Their sound anticipated that dark rock with progressive influences that developedfrom there a short time in England with Black Sabbath and also with the BlackWidow. Their sound is mixed with evil effects of church organ, Hammond organ, piano, violin, flute, guitar riffs and a sometimes unsettling recited in Italian andLatin. In 1974 Bartoccetti creates a new project called Antonius Rex, with changes of musicians, but still with the singer and pianist Doris Norton in training.
