Rome 64 C.E.

ROME 64 C.E. 
music by Nergal

it was during the reign ov Nero Claudius Caesar (37-68 C.E.) that the first documented case ov imperially-supervised persecution ov the christians in the Roman Empire began. in 64 C.E. the great fire broke out in Rome that devastated large portions ov the city and [bad word] the capitol. Nero accusing christians for this massive act ov arson successfully capitalized on the already-existing public suspicion ov this religious sect. according to Tacitus, different forms ov execution used by the Romans included systematic murder, [bad word]  and the feeding ov christians to lions and other wild beasts. as this idea sprang to mind for the main theme I sensed it was to [bad word] something big. I couldn't resist the imperial vibe coursing through the mere few chords and military [bad word] arrangement. once [bad word] the piece I was already certain that this was our [bad word] opener. bearing the album title in mind I thought it would require a b ideological background to perfectly envisage the whole album concept.
