METAL DE FACTO - Legionnaires’ Oath (Official Lyric Video)

The day has come: Finnish power metallers METAL DE FACTO have finally unleashed their debut album ’Imperium Romanum’ via Rockshots Records!  Available both in CD jewel case and digital version:  To celebrate the event, the band has also released the lyric video of ’Legionnaires’ Oath’ Singer Mikael Salo and bass player Sami Hinkka comment about the song: “’Legionnaires’ Oath’ talks about the legionnaries, heavy infantrymen of the Roman army who were revered as some of the most feared warriors at the time. It delves into the mindset of these soldiers, and the oath that they took to serve Rome for at least 25 years, the loyalty and the mental fortitude it required. Musically, ’Legionnaires’ Oath’ hoasts a powerful pounding drum beat paired with a commanding lead guitar melody. The chorus then explodes to an epic choir that speaks of military might and conquest, both sorrowful yet glorious!“ Lyric Video by Stefano Mastronicola ’Imperium Romanum’ was recorded, mixed and mastered at Goodman Studios and Tadaa Music Studio by Esa Orjatsalo. The artwork was created by the renowned Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák (Blind Guardian’s Twilight Orchestra, Stratovarius, Accept, Grave Digger, Powerwolf and many more).
