Sounds good, Miguel BosT (Spain) has a whole album called Bajo el signo de Cafn (Under the sign of Cain), but the Italian version is even better Sotto Il Segno Di Caino. Highly recommended atmospheric music.

Catchy! Can't complain, & can't really blame Cain: in modern-day tellings he's a lot more interesting than his namby-pamby brother. Did you read David Maine's "Fallen"? He gets a surprising amount of new life out of the old old Cain/Abel story . . .
