EX DEO, the new Roman themed super group led by Maurizio Iacono (KATAKLYSM), have 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 video clip for the title track 'Romulus' can be viewed below.
