Lies For The Liars

Paralyzed

a new era

"Blood and betrayal turned Rome from republic to empire." - National Geographic
"A cinematic metal epic about Power, Betrayal & Legacy - Caesar's Rome told as thunder, choir and truth" -  AxAxC

IMPERIVM: Blood of Rome is AxAxC’s cinematic war-saga: a 13-track ascent from Veni, Vidi, Vici to the Ides and beyond. Built like a documentary set to blades and choirs, this record fuses Christian Rock • Deathcore • Nu-Metal • Symphonic/Cinematic metal with trap-core pulses, Latin chants, and battlefield drums. It’s Caesar’s story told in real dates, real battles, real consequences — and the mirror it holds to our present.

Across Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Hispania, the album follows the rise, the civil war (49–45 BC), the dictatorship (46–44 BC), the Ides of March (44 BC), the vengeance at Philippi (42 BC), and the legacy that crowns Augustus. This is historical metal, just blood, law, and destiny.

Personal note from AxAxC: this project carries the nostalgia of a father’s films and the reality that ambition invites knives. IMPERIVM is for anyone who builds; who believes anyway.

- VENI. VIDI. VICI. — 47 BC; Zela (Pontus)
Caesar’s famed dispatch after defeating Pharnaces II (“I came, I saw, I conquered”). Opens the saga with the certainty that defines his rise.

- CAESAR’S THRONE (Remastered) — 59–50 BC; Rome & Gaul
From his consulship (59 BC) to the Gallic command (58–50 BC), triumphs, and the cult of persona that made him inevitable.

- The Die Is Cast (Alea Iacta Est) — Jan 49 BC; Rubicon, near Ariminum (Rimini)
Defies the Senate’s order; crosses with a legion and triggers civil war. No return.

- BLOOD OF ROME — 49–45 BC; Italy, Greece, Egypt, Africa, Hispania
Civil-war arc in hard dates: Dyrrhachium (48, Pompeian edge) → Pharsalus (48, Caesar wins) → Pompey assassinated in Egypt (48) → Thapsus (46) → Munda (45). Republic broken.

- JUDAS IN THE SENATE (Remastered) — 50–44 BC; Rome
Hostility in the Curia: indictments, intrigues, and the moral panic around “king” that seeds the conspiracy.

- FIFTEENTH OF MARCH (IDES) — 15 March 44 BC; Theatre of Pompey, Rome
Assassination: Brutus, Cassius, over twenty conspirators; 23 wounds; the act meant to “save” the Republic.

- SENATE OF SERPENTS — 46–44 BC; Rome (flashback dossier)
Dictatorship and reforms: Julian calendar, land/provincial reforms, public works (Temple of Venus Genetrix), then the move to dictator perpetuo (44 BC) that precipitates the knife.

- Idus Martiae! Caesar mortuus est! (feat. Pure Addiction) — Alt cut of 44 BC scene
Choral/trap dirge of the Ides—same day, different lens; grief, shock, and the crowd’s turning tide.

- I AM JULIUS (POST IDUS) — 44–42 BC; aftershock
The revenant speech: legacy claims (calendar, laws, roads), propaganda wars, and the truth that “they killed the man, not the movement.”

- MARCH OF THE LEGIONS — 44–42 BC; Macedon & Greece
Antony and Octavian avenge Caesar; the two Battles of Philippi (Oct 3 & 23, 42 BC); suicides of Cassius and Brutus. The conspirators’ end.

- LEGION (Remastered) — Timeless creed
Eagles, standards, formations; the soldier’s oath that outlives politics.

- THE FALL OF ROME — 44–27 BC → 27 BC
From chaos to order: Octavian consolidates, and in 27 BC becomes Augustus; the Republic’s ghost yields to the Empire.

- IMPERIVM — Epilogue/Credo
The price of will. Empires fall; purpose endures. Title motif that binds our personal thesis to Caesar’s arc.
