Ex Deo have titled their forthcoming new EP ‘Year Of The Four Emperors” and will have it out on January 10th via Reigning Phoenix Music. A lead single from it, “Vespasian“, has just arrived online, complete with a lyric video.
Kataklysm vocalist Maurizio Iacono fronts that Roman Empire-obsessed symphonic death metal outfit, and had the following to say of this cut:
“The EP’s closing track is an anthem of resilience and renewal. Vespasian emerges as a figure of stability amid the chaos, and the music reflects his calculated strength. Triumphant melodies intertwine with thunderous percussion, capturing his consolidation of power and the restoration of Rome’s fractured empire. The lyrics exalt Vespasian as the harbinger of a new era, culminating in a resounding declaration of victory and legacy. His reign ushers in the Flavian dynasty and a semblance of peace.”
This new four-song outing examines the period of AD 69 and the reigns of the Roman Emperors Golba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian. Pre-saves are available now via exdeo.rpm.link/yotfeYT.
