KATAKLYSM frontman MAURIZIO IACONO's EX DEO announce new EP 'Year Of The Four Emperors'
Releases video for new single 'Vespasian'
19-12-2024
EX DEO, the project of KATAKYLSM frontman Maurizio Iacono, will unleash their EP “Year Of The Four Emperors.” The EP is their first with Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) and will be released on January 10, 2025. The band will also embark on a tour of Europe that month in support of DARK FUNERAL and FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE before heading to North America in the spring in support of SEPTICFLESH and VLTIMAS. To commemorate the release announcement, the band have revealed the first single, ‘Vespasian’.
Watch ‘Vespasian’ below.
Maurizio comments about the song: “The EP’s closing track is an anthem of resilience and renewal. Vespasian emerges as a figure of stability amid the chaos, and the music reflects his calculated strength. Triumphant melodies intertwine with thunderous percussion, capturing his consolidation of power and the restoration of Rome’s fractured empire. The lyrics exalt Vespasian as the harbinger of a new era, culminating in a resounding declaration of victory and legacy. His reign ushers in the Flavian dynasty and a semblance of peace.”
