Kataklysm’s frontman Maurizio Iacono’s project Ex Deo have announced the release of their new EP Year of the Four Emperors. The EP will be released on January 10, 2025, through Reigning Phoenix Music. The theme of the EP features AD 69, which is Rome’s year of chaos. The physical editions of the release, which include exclusive vinyl, will be out on February 14.
Ex Deo have also released a brutal single off of the EP, titled “Vespasian,” along with a killer lyric video.
