Barcode: 823566489023



Based on Suetonius' De Vita Caesarum (121 AD), this wonderful new album deals with the notorious lives of a dozen Roman emperors and leads you on a gripping musical adventure through the greed, cruelty, fratricide and excess, which characterised their incomparable lust for power. But this is no run-of-the-mill exercise in historical sycophancy... H.E.R.R. retell the lives of the Emperors with honesty, drama and humour. This release - complete with the compositional and vocal hallmarks for which the group is so widely renowned - is set to become a true classic of the genre. Comes with an elegant 16-page booklet!
