Conscientia Peccati
Draco Rex

I have a surfeit of vaguely medieval, vaguely ritualistic, vaguely symphonic music. Let's just call it vague music. ("Come on, vague. Let your body move to the music...")

Conscientia Peccati ("the awareness of sin" is how the band chooses to translate the name) seem to dabble in occult themes, or at least try to by spelling "of" in one song title as "ov," in the affected manner of Genesis P-Orridge. Draco Rex has a lighter touch and a greater emphasis on song structure than much of their previous work, and is hence more accessible to the listener. The problem is when one of the band members (the only one?) tries to talk/sing over the music and ends up ruining the mood.

Let's just say it's a sin they need to become aware of.
