Cain (Italian band)

Cain is an Italian black/thrash metal band formed and based in Rome. It is one of former Theatres des Vampires vocalist Alessandro Nunziati's many musical side projects.^{[citation needed]} Cain's lyrics are written mostly in Italian and Latin, and deal with the history/mythology of the Roman Empire.^{[citation needed]} They self-describe their musical style as "Praetorian black metal".^{[citation needed]}

The band was formed in 2005 by Nunziati (who left Theatres des Vampires the year prior) and two members of his backing live band (S.K. and Nighthorn).^{[citation needed]} In the same year, they released a two-track demo tape, Dioscuri Aurea Sæcula.^{[citation needed]}

In 2007, their first studio album, Triumvira, was released through Vampyria Records. It was well received by the critics; Italian webzine TrueMetal.it awarded it a 79 out of 100.^[1] However, the band entered a long hiatus after the album's release, and were allegedly looking for a new record label during this period.

On 1 December 2014, Nunziati announced on his official Facebook page that Cain would be returning to active after a 7-year hiatus,^[2] and on 4 December, he stated that Francesco Bucci, famous for being the bassist of symphonic black metal band Stormlord, would be joining Cain.^[3] Since then, however, no further announcements were made.^{[citation needed]}
