Romulus and Remus thunders with the raw power of Rome’s legendary origin, retelling the myth of twin brothers born of gods and destined for greatness—and tragedy. Cast into the Tiber as infants, suckled by the she-wolf, and raised by shepherds, the brothers rise from exile to carve the foundations of an empire. Their bond, their struggle, and their fatal clash echo across this album in waves of crushing riffs, martial drums, and anthemic choruses that march like legions toward destiny.
Each track is forged from the myth’s defining moments: The River’s Abandonment flows with dark, brooding heaviness, embodying their near-death at birth. The She-Wolf’s Embrace lifts with primal ferocity, a tribute to the beast who nurtured Rome’s founders. Brothers in Arms charges forward with unyielding rhythm, evoking their rise against tyranny and their dream of a new city. As the tale darkens, The Augurs’ Omen spirals into tension, capturing the gods’ signs that pit brother against brother. The climax comes with Blood on the Palatine Hill, a furious, mournful storm of sound, marking Romulus’s slaying of Remus and the birth of Rome from fratricide.
Romulus and Remus is not just a retelling—it is a sonic monument to the paradox at the heart of empire: glory rising from bloodshed, unity born through conflict. The album conjures the clash of myth and history, echoing with the cries of wolves, the clang of bronze, and the iron will that forged the Eternal City. Through distortion and thunder, it proclaims the founding truth of Rome: that even gods demand sacrifice for greatness.
