Description
Double album on black vinyls with lyric insert. Limited 333 numbered copies
Maurizio Iacono – Kataklysm growler and mastermind – has a new project waiting for all of you Epic Death Metal aficionados out there: Ex Deo. This project and its debut album Romulus are a concept effort on the ancient empire Rome; a dream Maurizio wanted to realize for ages and now finally could pin down. Support comes from his bandmates JF Dagenais (who also produced the album), Stephane Barbe and Max Duhamel. Francois Mongrain (Martyr) and Jonathan Leduc (Blackguard) complete the Ex Deo line-up. And of course Maurizio also has some illustrious guests in stock: Karl Sanders (Nile) can be heard soloing on The Final War (Battle Of Actium), Nergal (Behemoth) is singing on Storm The Gates Of Alesia and Obsidian C (Keep Of Kalessin) is shredding on Cruor Nostri Abbas. Comments Maurizio: It`s an honor for me that such talented musicians and friends lended their art for a couple songs on this album. I only asked a few selected people that had involvement with history through their music and are related to this bands concept, so I salute them for contributing to Rome`s rise and they shall be amply rewarded for it. So check out this bombastic and epic monster of a debut album – witness the rise of Rome
