Secret Archives of the Vatican

Thousand Yard Prayer

Who Are We?

Secret Archives of the Vatican are Vince Millett and Louis Counter and, along with friends, we've been disrupting musical genre rules together for more than 30 years.

We love genre-defying music, Dark Age primordial sounds, an ancient orient that never was, medieval echoes, dub, dubstep, DnB, heavy metal, prog rock... Yes all of it!

Secret Archives of the Vatican (and our alter-ego Thousand Yard Prayer) love strange medieval and middle eastern musical instruments, dub, dubstep, DnB, pulp science fiction, an ancient mysterious Orient that never was, medieval echoes, Vikings, Saxons, dark folk, progressive rock, heavy metal, Asian Underground, RPGs, epic fantasy films and series, and more...we make genre defying music that explores all of these and more.

We release a lot of music - because we can!  You'll find us on your favourite streaming site, and on Bandcamp and on YouTube. We are on Instagram and TikTok and we would love to get to know you better.
