\nCanadian symphonic death metal band Ex Deo, which feature Ancient Roman-themed lyrical content and are fronted by Kataklysm vocalist Maurizio Iacono, have released an official lyric video for the track \u2018The Head Of The Snake\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, Maurizio Iacono said: \u201cThe centerpiece of all things NERO was his mother, Agrippina. She manipulated the strings of the senate and conspiracies to make sure her beloved son NERO would rule the world, she was the head of the snake with her deadly fangs of deceit. The song travels through her calculated sadistic mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ex Deo issue fourth full-length studio album The Thirteen Years Of Nero<\/em> on August 27th, 2021 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

Maurizio Iacono commented: \u201cWhen it comes to Ancient Rome, the content is long, rich and extensive, the personalities reflect every society imaginable from just, fair and generous to greed, evil and merciless. The world we live in today was shaped by Rome \u2013 it doesn\u2019t take much see it all around you in the simplest things. For this record, it was the proper time to fallow the timeline of one Rome\u2019s most controversial figures, Nero. On this album, we follow him through his thirteen-year journey as emperor of Rome and unveil the true face of one of the world\u2019s most worshiped villains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unleash The Archers frontwoman Brittney Slayes provides guest vocals to the track \u2018Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)\u2019.<\/p>\n
