French Extreme Metal Legionaries DEOS have signed with
Wormholedeath a worldwide deal for their album "Furor Belli", which
is due for release on May 27th, 2022.
Band Statement :
Ave Populus, We have some good news to share with you ! We have signed with
WormHoleDeath records for our upcoming 3rd album Furor Belli which will be
released this spring ! Stay tuned for more informations and stay Roman
Speaking of the upcoming release, the band explain:
Ave Populus Furor Belli is a more raw and more direct album than the 2
previous ones. This is mainly due to the new lineup. Indeed François (guitar)
and Harsh (keyboards) left the band in 2020. Cedric joined the band as a
guitarist and we decided not to have keyboards anymore. So the music became
more raw, more brutal and more direct. But it remains at the same time melodic.
Cedric has fully contributed to the writing of the album since his arrival and
his style has been perfectly integrated. His great rhythmic ability has
elevated the martiality of the music! This album is a good mix of Black, Death
and Thrash in an old school style. The music and lyrics on this album reflect
the trials and tribulations of the last 2 years due to the pandemic and the
lineup change. Rage, frustration, anger but also hope and friendship have
forged Furor Belli. And for the 1st time we have 2 guests on 2 different songs
which gives even more diversity to our music. As always with Deos, the themes
are based on the history of Rome, but these same themes are still relevant
today. They are the reflection of the life of the band and the current world
context. The lyrics are more thoughtful and more personal even if they can seem
more brutal, more cruel and more warlike than those of the 2 other albums. Now
you just have to joins us and discover it .
Playing "Roman Extreme Metal" style, the band
DEOS was formed in May 2014 by Fabio Battistella, Jack Graved and Loïc
Depauwe. They wish to combine the sounds of Black and Death Metal with
their passion for ancient Rome, which through the lyrics, graphics
and stage play. After some shows in Annecy, Chambéry, Saint-Etienne or
Geneva, their first album, Ghosts of the Empire, was released
in December 2015 and conquered the Rhône-Alpes public with a

band also participates in the first album of the Greek-Roman singer Ellenika by
writing the track The Goddess and the Warrior. At the end of the year, they
record an acoustic EP offering a selection of their first two albums. During
the year 2020 Harsh (keyboards) and François (guitar) left the band. Cedric
