ALBUM REVIEW | EX DEO - ROMULUS | A Force to be Reckoned With...

Kataklym's side project Ex Deo has really jumped off into one of the greatest starts I have ever seen in metal history. Kataklym's singer Maurizio Iacono has started this project in honor of his strong Roman roots, and has made the Roman Empire the central theme of the music in Ex Deo. Ex Deo's debut album Romulus combines the most intense parts of epic orchestral pieces into death metal, breeding something I like to call epic death metal. Did I mention, Ex Deo is the first group in metal history to have two music videos on their debut album! Their Final War video is quite the watch!




The atmosphere of Romulus is just... epic. The awesome power of the orchestra echoes just behind the front-men, the brilliant minds behind Ex Deo itself. The lyrics, the voice, the EVERYTHING, is just perfect. Cruor nostri abbas! Shed blood of our fathers...

Here are the best tracks of Romulus:

• Romulus
• Storm the Gates of Alesia
• Cry Havoc
• In Her Dark Embrace
• The Final War
• Legio XIII
• Cruor Nostri Abbas
• The Pantheon

Notice how I picked almost all of the tracks on the album. These are the most intense, most catchy (Kataklysm members are known to make catchy music), and most epic tracks on the entire album. They WILL send shivers down your spine.

This album is definitely worth the money you pay for it (on iTunes, it costs the same as any other album, about $10 USD). Please BUY the album to support the Ex Deo members in the creation of their next album, Caligula. Album production is not as cheap as you think.



Romulus features guest appearances by:

• Karl Sanders (Nile) - Insane shredding/sweeping solo on The Final War
• Obsidian C. (Keep of Kalessin) - Solo on Cruor Nostri Abbas
• Nergal (Behemoth) - Intense vocals near the end of Storm the Gates of Alesia, shouting "VENI, VIDI, VICI!"

Proudly produced by Jean-Francois Dagenais, lead guitarist of Kataklysm and rhythm guitarist of Ex Deo.
Distributed through Nuclear Blast Records.
