Ex Deo's debut album Romulus was released through Nuclear Blast Records on June 19, 2009 in Europe and was released on June 30, 2009 in North America. The album was recorded with producer and Kataklysm guitarist Jean-Francois Dagenais, featuring guest appearances by Karl Sanders (Nile), Obsidian C. (Keep of Kalessin) and Nergal (Behemoth).
Caligvla (2010–2012)

After a year of extensively touring the band announced its second album on August 19, 2010 through their Facebook page. They mentioned the writing process would begin in late 2011. On October 14, 2010 the band revealed the new album's title Caligula, which would later be changed to Caligvla.

On December 14, 2010 the band sign a new record deal with Napalm Records.

On September 28, 2011 the band announced the album's release date, August 31, 2012 which would also mark Caligula's 2000th anniversary. The band entered the studio in November 2011 to start the recordings for the new album. Then on February 4, 2012 Maurizio posted a studio update that most of the symphonies and orchestral parts were done. He also mentioned that the process of creating the album would take a lot of time and would possibly interfere with their Paganfest tour. The band cancelled their appearance on Pagenfest a few days later. On February 16, 2012 Maurizio started recording his vocals which would be finish by February 21. At that only a few solos were left, some guest appearances to track and then they would be ready to start mixing the album. In March the band revealed the final track listing of Caligvla and also announced they began mixing the album. Then on March 23, the band revealed the guest appearances on Caligvla, which would involve Seth Siro (Septic Flesh), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania), Stefano Fiori (Graveworm) and Francesco Artusato (All Shall Perish). The band unveiled the album cover artwork for Caligvla on April 15.

In June, 2012 the band announced an upcoming video for the song I, Caligvla which would also feature Maurizio's girlfriend and Colombian model Suzzy. On July 27 they uploaded the new video for I, Caligvla on Youtube.
