Le groupe de Death Metal épique et symphonique Ex Deo vient de dévoiler son nouveau morceau "The Philosopher King" avec en guest à l'orchestration Francesco Ferrini de Fleshgod Apocalypse. Ce single est disponible au format digital via Napalm Records.
Ce nouveau single est librement inspiré de Marc Aurèle. En tant qu'empereur, il se fait appeler Cæsar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus. En tant que philosophe stoïcien, il est notamment connu pour sa politique favorable aux écoles philosophiques, à l'éducation des femmes et pour avoir écrit Pensées pour moi-même.
"The song is based on the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It’s a song that strikes a chord with me personally, exploring my life experiences and tribulations. I find myself very close to this man’s philosophical ideals – some I have struggled to understand, some I have adopted. He is the author of the famous book "Meditations" (now you know the influence behind the recent Kataklysm album). Stoicism roots come from the hellenistic ideology based in Athens and quickly made its way to Rome. It is something I have been applying more and more to my life in recent years – self-control, discipline and looking at life in a more constructive and appreciative way. Marcus Aurelius, while commanding the world’s largest army and the most advanced society in ancient times, was perceived as one of the most regarded and prosperous emperors not only economically, but also in military and social triumphs. This is an homage to one of Rome’s greatest, The Philosopher King!"
