NEW EX DEO VIDEO EVEN EPICER THAN THE LAST EX DEO VIDEO

 Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 at 9:30am by

“Epicer” is a word, right?

You might remember Ex Deo’s video for “Romulus,” which Vince described as being “epic, grand, colossal, and monolithic;” the group’s new video, for the song “The Final War (Battle of Actium)” takes that shit to a whole other level. Sure, the special effects are a little cheesy and the director was clearly taking a lot of his visual cues from 300, but compared to what most bands are passing off as music videos these days, Ex Deo have pretty much hit a grand slam. Judge for yourself:

    I’m not really convinced about Romans having their arms filled with tattoos…

    Hey, any video that features really cheesily-done decapitation is cool in my book.

    wasnt too big a fan of the last video but this one is sick

    All I know is that when that double bass kicked in over the shot of the battle standard I had a sudden desire to decapitate everyone around me.

  • Discipleofthewatch

    try “more epic.”

    • Sambo

      Agreed.

  • YildunDave

    The guitar tone sucks balls on this album. The rest of production is spot on… but the guitars sound like they were done direct in through a broken line 6.

    Kataklysm should hang it up (or get Sylvain Houde back in the fold) and focus all their energies on Ex Deo. I’d rather have one good band, than two half-assed ones.

  • Fufkin

    It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever

  • Sambo

    THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!!!

    That’s pretty fuckin’ bad-ass!

  • Romaould the Loquacious

    Dude! This vid was sick! Puts all other 2010 releases to shame, me thinks. :P

  • TriviumMartyr

    Great vid although yes it was fairly cheesy. Not as good as Ov Fire and the Void though. Although nothing beats Behemoth(when it comes to movie quality videos)

  • Mordecai 9000

    Majestic as fuck
