After the triumphant release of their recent critically acclaimed EP “Year Of The Four Emperors”, which released a suitably triumphant review here on SonicAbuse, Canadian death metal gladiators EX DEO have just released a lyric video for ‘Galba.’ The song is a ferocious opener for the EP that showcases exactly why they are considered to be at the forefront of the genre.
The band say about the track: “Galba rises from the ashes of Nero’s reign, a tyrant cloaked in the guise of saviour. The track mirrors his ruthless ascent, dominated by unrelenting riffs and venomous proclamations of power. His insatiable hunger for wealth and domination sets the tone for the chaos to follow. As the walls of Rome close in, the Praetorian Guard turns against him in a violent crescendo, heralding his downfall. Galba’s story is a chilling testament to hubris and betrayal.”
