Italian epic blackened death metal band Gates Of Doom revealed the videoclip for the the track "The Galenus Plague". The track is taken from their upcoming full-length album entitled Aquileia Mater Aeterna, which will be released on 6th January 2021 via Cult Of Parthenope distribution.
Gates Of Doom commented: "When we finished filming in 2019 we certainly didn't expect a twist of fate would make the themes of the clip so fitting these days. The song takes us back to the II century AD, at the end of the military campaign against the Parthians. The Romans, while victorious, brought back home a terrible illness that would ravage the Empire for twenty years. Historians call this the Antonian plague, or Galenus plague, from the greek medic that first studied the illness at the Emperors' request. Aquileia was struck by it between 168 and 169 AD as well, but not even a plague and several sieges by some germanic tribes could subdue the city."
The upcoming Aquileia Mater Aeterna is a concept focused on the Italian city of Aquileia, from its foundation by the Romans in 181 B.C. to its destruction in 452 A.D. by Attila's hand. Historically, the city was a crossroad for a variatey of people and cultures, all crucial for the birth of the band's motherland region Friûl and its identity, a great source of inspiration for Gates Of Doom.
