EX DEO unleashed "THE IMMORTAL WARS", 2/24/2017 via NAPALM RECORDS
FROM NAPALM RECORDS:
Death Metal Historians Ex Deo Team Up with FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE’s Francesco Ferrini on New Track “The Philosopher King”! New single and video coming March 13, 2020.
After three years since the release of their latest acclaimed
full-length, The Immortal Wars, Roman Empire-inspired epic death metal
band EX DEO are about to make their grand return – with a little extra
boost from special guest Francesco Ferrini of Italian symphonic
metallers FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE! Francesco Ferrini provided the stunning
orchestral score for the colossal track, which will tell the tale of one
of Rome’s greatest emperors, Marcus Aurelius – an important historical
figure that EX DEO mastermind Maurizio Iacono feels a deep connection
with.
Iacono offers, “It’s been three years since the release of The Immortal Wars – an album that propelled EX DEO to a new level. This time, we didn’t want to wait another five years to release new material, so we decided to release a standalone new single called, “The Philosopher King” while we wait for the follow up album to The Immortal Wars. For this track, we asked our brother, the talented Francesco Ferrini, for his contribution on the orchestral score.
The song is based on the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It’s a song that strikes a chord with me personally, exploring my life experiences and tribulations. I find myself very close to this man’s philosophical ideals – some I have struggled to understand, some I have adopted. He is the author of the famous book “Meditations” (now you know the influence behind the recent KATAKLYSM album). Stoicism is something I have been applying more and more to my life in recent years – self-control, discipline. Marcus Aurelius, while commanding the world’s largest army and the most advanced society in ancient times, was perceived as one of the most regarded and prosperous emperors not only economically, but also in military and social triumphs. This is an homage to one of Rome’s greatest, The Philosopher King!”
Francesco Ferrini adds, “When Maurizio suggested to join forces on a brand new EX DEO release, he had me bought in straight away! This song was incredibly inspiring to work on, being such a powerful combination of drama and epicness. I’m sure everyone will love it as much as we do.”
Stay tuned for the new track and video, coming soon!
