Jacula is in fact multi-instrumentalist Antonio Bartoccetti and Pre Viam (an anagram of Vampire) is his third album. If you liked the first two then you will probably also like this new album. I would describe this “music”, if you can call it that, as offbeat esoteric-tinged rock filled with walls of keyboards, lots of spooky sound effects, church organ and weird vocals. However after the opening track Jacula Is Back I have heard enough already as this music is definitely NOT my cup of tea. Maybe fans of black metal, horror movies and Halloween will like this album; the only positive thing I can say about it is that Jacula's music is highly original.
