Ex Deo
The Thirteen Years Of Nero
Four years after the release of their highly anticipated album The Immortal Wars (2017), Juno
Award-nominated EX DEO returns with more massive, brutal soundscapes than ever! The Roman
Empire inspired death metal band’s newest release, The Thirteen Years Of Nero, transports the
listener back to Ancient Rome with 10 cinematic masterpieces that tell the emotional, conceptual
story of the reign of Emperor Nero. Accented by sounds of ancient instruments like lyra and harp
and detailing the harrowing stories of Nero’s surroundings, close allies and enemies, listeners will
connect with intense psychological tones of political turmoil and paranoia. As always, the
Canadian unit is led by founding frontman Maurizio Iacono (Kataklysm) and producer/guitarist
Jean-François Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index, Despised Icon), but this time, features the
stylings of Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc.) on drums and Clemens Wijers (Carach Angren, Lindemann)
manning the album’s intense orchestral score...
