NEWS: Ex Deo announce “Year Of The Four Emperors” on vinyl!
Celebrating the arrival of their new EP “Year Of The Four Emperors” via Reigning Phoenix Music as they tour across Europe with Dark Funeral and Fleshgod Apocalypse, a lyric video for “Vitellius” has been shared by Ex Deo. Who needs a bloodlust when you have a project masterminded by Katakylsm frontman Maurizio Iacono recounting tales of ancient Rome in Death Metal? A clear vinyl edition is available here with a 14th March delivery date.
The band comment: “A dark and relentless anthem, this track embodies Vitellius’ brutal reign. The music swells with martial intensity, reflecting his thirst for conquest and the savagery that defined his rule. From the echoes of his allegiance to Nero to the inevitable clash with Vespasian’s forces, the song crescendos into chaos. The lyrics reveal a man driven by bloodlust yet powerless to escape his fate. Vitellius’ violent end is portrayed with haunting finality, a reminder of Rome’s volatile power.”
