The Pax Cecilia are a post-metal group who recently relocated to Rochester, New York, USA. They released their first album together in 2003 titled "Nouveau: A Theater of Air". It was a promising first release that combined elements of screamo, classical, and metal.

The band released their second full-length album Blessed Are The Bonds in May 2007. This release shows the band expanding into completely new territory, and displays a maturity and cohesiveness that is far beyond their first album.

"Blessed Are The Bonds" uses a heavy mixture of string arrangements and alternate instrumentation to further expand the sonic landscape, and is once again set in a conceptual environment with the song titles, lyrics, music, and artwork all contributing to the story.

Like their first album, "Blessed are the Bonds" was offered free of charge, including full artwork and custom packaging. After sending out nearly all 10,000 copies, the band has made the album available as a free download from their website.

The Pax Cecilia originated in Brookville, Pennsylvania, in 2002.The Pax Cecilia's Blessed Are The Bond's Lyrics can be found right here: http://www.paxcecilia.com/blessedlyrics.html Just in case anyone might be interested in singing along with the music.
