EX DEO - New Release Date Set For Romulus; New Studio Report Available
March 4, 2009, 15 years ago
EX DEO, the new band featuring KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono, have announced that their debut album, Romulus, is now scheduled for release on May 22nd (Europe) and June 16th (North America) via Nuclear Blast Records.
The band are currently hard at work on Romulus with producer/guitarist J-F Dagenais. Iacono has offered the following progress report on the recording process:
"Well the sun is shinning today; I have completed the vocals for Romulus! I needed to capture the emotions of the songs that J-F Dagenais and company put together and I feel I succeeded. Jonathan Leduc from BLACKGUARD has done an incredible job on the symphony parts for this album! Songs like the ‘Legio XIII’ (The 13th Legion) are so epic you feel you’re literally in Rome on the battlegrounds! Francois Mongrain from MARTYR is almost done tracking the bass lines. I can’t say enough about this man’s talent on bass! We are now just waiting on a few special guests on the album to send in their contributions and we will be ready to mix this beast of an album!
In the meantime, we will take a few days off as we are heading to Belgium for an exclusive show with Kataklysm. Right after that I will go to Belgrade to film the video for the title track ‘Romulus’. The idea of the clip is to recreate the story of Romulus and the Epic times of ancient Rome. We promise a breathtaking video! Next week I’ll have another blog with pics from the video shoot!”
