Album Description
Available in:
"The Immortal Wars" is the third album released by Canadian death metal band Ex Deo, released on 24 febuary 2017 on the Napalm Records label.
The albums main concept deals with Punic Wars, a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 B.C. to 146 B.C. The epic legendary wars come to life and bring the showdown between two of the greatest generals that ever walked the earth, Hannibal and Scipio Africanus, both of whom rewrote the rules of war and strategies.

Reviewed by metalwani.com
The combination of mighty riffs and grand symphony certainly adds a dramatic sheen to proceedings, but it’s always the general-like bellows that Iacono unleashes that conjures images of dusty battlefields, armour glinting in the sun and Legion XIII banners held aloft before ripping into battle. Try listening to cries like “I am the general you cannot kill” from “Ad Victoriam (The Battle Of Zama)” and suppressing the chills that ripple down your spine, and then race back up to command you to war. It’s almost historically-accurate (one could imagine such things being roared on the battlefield), whilst touches like the screeching violin on closer “The Roman” adds a warmth and authenticity to the album.
Ancient history and metal get on as well as a house on fire So it stands to reason that Ex Deo have once again put out a solid slab of historically-sound death metal. Yes, it’s not terribly complex like their death metal brethren, nor is it reinventing the wheel (nor doing anything significantly different from ‘Romulus‘ or ‘I, Caligvla‘), but the palatial orchestrations and rousing, meaty riffage alongside epic story-telling in musica makes for quite an aural spectacle.
