Antonius Rex

Formerly known as “Jacula”.
Italian symphonic/baroque prog-rock group formed by leading member Anonio Bartoccetti (vocals + guitar), Doris Norton (keyboards + programming + engineering), Charles Tiring (bass), Jean-Luc Jabouille (drums).

They’re mainly focused on a strong interest towards the occult.
Their first record “Neque semper arcum tendit rex”, originally to be released in 1974, was ultimately scrapped by their label Vertigo (the same label of Black Sabbath!) when the executives discovered its satanic contents; after a limited private release of 400 copies, it ws later officially rereleased in 2002.
