Ex Deo a dat publicitatii un lyric video pentru piesa “Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)“, invitata speciala fiind solista Brittney Slayes de la formatia candiana Unleash the Archers.
Melodia este inclusa pe noul album de studio, intitulat “The Thirteen Years Of Nero“, ce va fi lansat pe 27 august 2021, sub egida Napalm Records.
Maurizio Iacono, liderul trupei, a declarat: “Queen Boudicca has been a symbol of freedom and rebellion in England since her ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield defending her people and their beliefs. Rome, in full expansion and under the rule of emperor Nero, was on a mission to annex Britain as a Roman province after the death of King Prasutagus (Boudicca’s husband). The Roman treaty died, and so did peace”.

Ex Deo este un proiect symphonic death metal initiat de vocalistul formatiei Kataklysm, Maurizio Iacono, in 2008 ca un “proiect artistic” de care era interesat in mod special datorita originilor sale italiene, chiar daca este nascut si crescut in Canada. Ex Deo nu a fost fondata ca sa fie o formatie la fel de activa cum e Kataklysm, Iacono sustinand ca “e mai mult un fel de trupa prestigioasa”. N-o sa avem turnee intense pentru Ex Deo, n-o sa facem cate facem pentru Kataklysm. Kataklysm e un fel de trupa-razboinica a lumii, stii, e mereu pe drumuri si la curent cu aspectele sociale. Ex Deo e ceva mai artistic.
Ex Deo are trei albume de studio pana in momentul actual: “Romulus” (2009), “Caligvla” (2012) si “The Immortal Wars” (2017), toate abordand teme despre Imperiul Roman.
