Ex Deo - Romulus (2009)



Formed in 2008, Ex Deo is officially a side project of Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono, who seemed to want to reconnect with his homeland’s glorious past. However, a glancing inspection at the band’s line-up confirms that Ex Deo is, in fact, Kataklysm under a new name since all current band members are in both bands. Ex Deo’s first album is titled Romulus after the legendary founder of the city of Rome in the eighth century BC, and consists of death metal with a modern edge, similar to Kataklysm’s last two albums’ sound but different in atmosphere due to its particular lyrical subject and keyboard usage. To those who haven’t grasped the massive amount of signs leading to this, Romulus is a concept album dealing with the Roman world in all its aspects and is, overall, a rather good release.
