Ex Deo release ‘Vitellius’ lyric video – new EP “Year Of The Four Emperors” is out today

Death metal gladiators Ex Deo, the Juno-nominated project of Katakylsm frontman Maurizio Iacono, have unleashed their highly anticipated new EP “Year Of The Four Emperors” on Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), via its partnership with Distortion Music Group. The album is out now digitally and on CD, with a limited edition vinyl to follow on March 14, 2025.

To celebrate, the band have unveiled the EP’s focus track ‘Vitellius.’ The lyrics reveal a man driven by bloodlust, yet powerless to escape his fate. Vitellius‘ violent end is portrayed with haunting finality, a reminder of Rome’s volatile power.
