Antonius Rex biography

Probably the most charismatic figure of all the italian prog scene, Antonio Bartoccetti (ANTONIUS REX) began his career going to Milan from the Marche, forming JACULA, "Dietro Noi Deserto" (even with a single on Decca in 1971!), and "Invisible Force" (another lonely single in 1971). Not real bands but just a group of musicians working beyond the leading figures of Bartoccetti and Doris Norton (aka FIAMMA DALLO SPIRITO).

Their first album, in 1969, was recorded in London and only released in a strictly limited number of copies (300 + 10 promos) that were only partly distributed by the producer and label owner to sects. An album full of dark atmospheres, mainly based on guitar and church organ and with no drums, it has recently been reissued by Black Widow. In 1971 two singles were released under different names: first as "Invisible Force", with two tracks that later reappeared in "Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus" and "Zora"; the B-side 1999 mundi finis, later re-released as U.F.D.E.M. and "Morte Al Potere" is one of their classics. The second single that year appeared under the name of "Dietro Noi Deserto", this time Bartoccetti was the bass player and composer of both tracks; this seems to be the only proper group which he has played with, and the style is closer to late 60's psychy beat than progressive.

Second album, and usually considered their first proper release, was "Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus", also released in limited number of copies for an unknown label (this seems to be a constant in all the Bartoccetti production) and housed in a cover sporting the same design as the previous one, but coloured instead of the original black and white.

The medium Franz Parthenzy is also listed in the line-up along with the three official members Antonio Bartoccetti, Fiamma Dallo Spirito and Charles Tiring. Long instrumental spectral organ parts are the main ingredient of this album, that has in the suggestive U.F.D.E.M. (also on the "Invisbile Force" single) probably their best track. Dark atmospheres abound and some tracks, like the spoken (in bad english) Long black magic night can be boring for many listeners.

In 1974 a new name change to ANTONIUS REX and an album called "Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex". Despite a contact to release it on Vertigo, the label considered it to be too outrageous, with the black and white cover reproducing a 17th century "diabolic" letter and strong lyrics, especially in the Devil letter track. The album was planned for release on drummer Albert Goodman's Darkness label, but it never went over a promo issue. So the first real commercially released ANTONIUS REX is "Zora" from 1977, on the small Tickle label and, again, with an outrageous cover that was replaced with a different one a year later. "Zora" is not a great album, despite its collectibility, and includes some reworkings of tracks from JACULA's "Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus" (Morte al potere is a third revised version of U.F.D.E.M.); their main elements are as usual church organ, dark atmospheres, lyrics dealing with occultism. The four tracks on the album were all composed by Bartoccetti along with Franco Mussita and Angelo "India" Serighelli from I Raminghi, both also listed among the LP contributors. The second issue includes an extra fifth track. "Ralefun" is definitely much less dark than anything else they made, more varied and the sound is richer with the addition of flute and bass guitar (with guest appearences by Marco Ratti and Hugo Heredia), but some ventures into different music styles don't always work very well.

Very mysterious characters, JACULA/ANTONIUS REX never liked concerts, their only live appearance ever as JACULA has been made in Milan in front of a 45 people audience while AANTONIUS REX apparently had a tour in 1979, and have always liked to do what they wanted, without the record companies restrictions and obligations. 2001 has seen the official re-release of two of the rarest JACULA/ANTONIUS REX productions, "In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum" and "Anno Demoni", both by italian independent label Black Widow. An official reissue of AANTONIUS REX' 1974 first album "Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex" has just been released in late 2002, while a reissue of "Praeternatural" is finally out in late 2003.

In 2005 the first ANTONIUS REX official video has been released, Magic ritual, issued on DVD and CD. In 2006 came the fantastic "Switch on Dark," and another new title is scheduled for 2009. Click on the link to go to the fine Rex/Jacula website which has lots of interesting content.

Prolusion. “Hystero Demonopathy” is the new release by the legendary ANTONIUS REX, from Italy. Click here to visit the band’s section on this site and read more about it.

Analysis. The nine tracks that make up this 59-minute CD are all largely instrumental pieces (at least on average), using either theatric narratives or a mixed operatic choir, but never traditional vocals. Most of them are filled with a gothic aura and are characterized by a dark and, at the same time, lushly symphonic sound that is largely the band’s own. Two of those, the title one and Are Mine, widely deploy heavy guitar riffs, stylistically suggesting a kind of symphonic Doom Metal-meets-doomy symphonic Art-Rock with bits of classical here and there (mainly courtesy of organ), the latter beginning and finishing as an interplay between organ and acoustic guitar. Each of them finds a groove early on, and builds intensity and variation throughout, using bass, drums and keyboards as the primary foundation, then overlaying with guitar, additional keyboards (above all Mini-Moog and Hammond), and a string ensemble on some occasions. These two compositions are absolute masterworks, both referring directly to the band’s classic, early-to-mid-’70s, phase of work. The Devil’s Nightmare also has a lot of moves that are performed up-tempo, but contains substantially fewer doom metal-inspired ones. The other six tracks are basically slow-paced, deploying no heavy guitar riffs at all, albeit four of them, Suicide Goth, Disincantation, Witches and Demonic Hysteria, are still diverse pieces of music, interesting throughout, the former three featuring some really strong art-rock arrangements, ones driven by acoustic guitar and piano in particular. In all cases the keyboards combine older analog tones (still using a large palette of vintage instruments) with later digital ones, sometimes coming off a bit ambient-like, sometimes nicely atmospheric. The melodies tend toward the less dark and even romantic in places, pushing things toward the new-age side in places, but otherwise the music is as enjoyable as that on the best tracks, described first. The remaining two tunes, The Fatal Letter and Possaction, are pieces of symphonic Ambient, and while not excellent, are good, at least in their own right. In both cases the bottom end bass and drum patterns provide a perfect launching point for the expanded cinematic imagery created by the keyboards, guitars and voices. Comparisons might be drawn with the band’s late ‘70s creation, “Ralefun”. Finally, there is also a bonus video on the CD, Video Rexample-I, which includes several tracks from the band’s first period of work (1969-‘74) and is an important part of this release. The music is dark and full of magic, accompanied by images of crosses, chapels and gothic cathedrals shot from various perspectives, though there are also some real video clips. Brilliant stuff!

Conclusion. The latest Antonius Rex release will please anyone who’s into Gothic Symphonic Progressive, let alone fans of the band. Dark and majestic, this is largely imaginative music, though, and I suppose the ideal medium for it would be a DVD with visuals from the performance or at least something in the vein of the bonus material.
