Ex Deo Posts New Song, "Legio XIII," Online

EX DEO, the new Roman themed super group led by Maurizio Iacono (KATAKLYSM), has posted the new track "Legio XIII" on their Myspace page. The song comes off the band’s debut album "Romulus," which also features guest appearances by Karl Sanders (NILE), Nergal (BEHEMOTH), Obsidian C. (KEEP OF KALESSIN).

Iacono commented:
"First I’d like to say a big THANK YOU for the overwhelming response for the video to the title track, 'Romulus.' Word of mouth has been spreading like wildfire worldwide about EX DEO at the moment! I didn’t think there were so many metal heads that were into the concept of the band and Roman history as much as I am. I was anxious to see the response of the people of Italy and Rome today and the media there has accepted us with open arms. Now with their seal of approval we can show the world ROME! Today we present you another defiant track called 'Legio XIII.' It’s a song in honor of ROME's most devastating and lethal Legion ever assembled; the 13th Legion which helped bring Caesar to power. Enjoy!"

The music video for the title track, "Romulus," was recently released and can be viewed below.

"Romulus" will be released by Nuclear Blast Records on June 19, 2009 in Europe and June 30, 2009 in North America. You can catch the band on tour this September as part of this years installment of Paganfest Europe.
