Has anyone mentioned Jacula/Antonius Rex?

Jacula's (I think) 1969 debut `In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum' (pretty sure that's the title!) is one of my all-time favourite albums.

Pretty much nothing but dark overwhelming church organ, very basic drumming, occasional Latin dialogue over the top, and a few electric guitar solos.

Very monotonous and hypnotic.

Highly recommended

Hi,
 
Here's a small list ... some of it I am not sure it is/was that progressive. I had to scramble me brains to remember some of these.
 
Black Widow - The first three albums were all about the dark arts and the occult. Had touches of jazzy material as well.
 
Coven - I think this was a California outfit that put together a couple of albums based on their very own stuff and beliefs. I can not ascertain its depth or validity (don't feel wualified to do so!), but at times the lyrics are not ... the usual stuff we hear.
 
Leviathan - I came across a review of this album somewhere, and I think this was an American band, but as much as I have the album, I have not heard, or checked it out, enough to tell you more. I do remember the rock music being fairly strong.
 
Plus - The Seven Deadly Sins. Presumably this was done by the same person that did Thunderclap Newman (Something in the Air). There are 7 songs about each one of the Sins. Would probably be progressive in that the songs are all different ... but the wording, for my tastes, fairly conventional and sometimes theatrical where it doesn't need to be. Great fun for playing on that Halloween show, btw ... because it comes off weird!
 
Lucifer - I have the LP but have to listen to it again. If I remember it correctly it was an interesting experiment through the synthesizer and a strange concoction of sounds. Don't wuote me on this one. Haven't heard it in some time.
 
Annubian Lights - The first album with Nik Turner reading various Egyptian this and that. While not quite "dark" or "evil", the whole thing in the trance mode is kinda strange, and sometimes ... weird. But enjoyable. Lyrics are not that clear, but there are some.
 
Already mentioned some of the other albums in a previous post. But there are a couple of things that are very hard to discuss that I have not been able to determine a whole lot about. One of them comes from Nepal, and is a lot of music that is used in Funeral Dirges of old. Some of the music was used in a BBC special a few years back, and most of it is down right scary, sounds strange and is very dark, even for my tastes ... i somehow have this idea that this might be akin to some of the music we might find in the Bardo level ... way out there ... but that might be a bit too weird to discuss here.
 
Hope this helps.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

On similar lines, Gnidrolog might be a good try, they certainly have a bit of a dark feel to me.

Yes, but he also asked for something "similar" to KC or VdGG... I almost wrote Gnidrolog too...

I don't really think anybody here including me really gives a sh*t if you think you are a genius?


A little more humility please. You're asking for people's help then ridiculing them for offering assistance.

It had nothing to do with Humility it had to do that my first post asked for music, and then he ridiculed me for asking for evil to begin with, and then telling me to go read a book when this is a music forum not a book forum.

Great re-workings of old horror movie scores soaked in mellotron and a very Crimsonian feel to it.   


This is amazing! Reminds me a lot of King Crimson. Do you know any other bands that use Mellotron in a similar type of way?

Child Molester:

"You let the children come to me!
In white gowns and flowers in their hair
I took away their virginity,
I just can't tell you how lovely it was"!

Angry Crowd:

"Serve the Beautiful, the Good, the True,
Whip him, he is already quivering for it.
Let him experience the sweet pain;
 He so craves for disgrace and ignominy!

Child Molester:

"We danced ring-a-ring-a-roses
And sang a beautiful song.
The smallest girl started crying for her mother
I softly speared her with my member".

(Mad laughter)

Angry Crowd:
"Come thee all and look at him!
His head shaved bald, and still he smiles.
Let's get to work, it's easily done!
Hang him, the lusty moloch".

The final words, spoken into the megaphone, appear to be nonsense syllables; at least I can not recognize anything.

And here the music that goes with them:


I think you will all agree that this is exceptionally dark.

Thank you this is amazing!!! Lyrics are disturbing, but the song is awesome.

^^Disgusting enough to reduce Comus to a bunch of choirboys. Having read the lyrics, I don't even want to play it.

Okay - it's 2am here in the UK and I'm too tired to read through this thread to see who has offended who and why. I'm locking this down until I'm more awake. In the mean time, all should consider that (like anything "spiritual") while some people find "evil" to be a real other people don't.

I see many metal suggestions here, but Zeuhl is obviously the direction you should go for after devouring VDGG and King Crimson discography!
If you are not into Magma because of the vocals, try this modern instrumental Zeuhl/Avant stuff Thumbs Up
