The mystery of Jacula / Antonius Rex

I written here a complete overview of Jacula/ Antonius Rex that I thought was sorely lacking on the internet, the band seems to be full of self perpetuated myths. If you like scary pipe organ playing, castles, churches, graveyards and the myth of Transylvania, I urge you to get the first three albums...

Jacula- In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum
 Jacula- Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus (the version without the newly created track "Absolution" spoiling it)
 Antonius Rex- Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex
...they are three of my favorite albums ever. Their later stuff is extremely patchy and usually lacking in the qualities that make these three albums great.

 Here is the first track of the first album to get you started...

Forget about Hammer films, these three albums do the job waaaaaay better.
