LUCUS is the first album of one man band I, LORD AVEU.
It refers to real facts which occured during Roman Conquest. Caesar's scribe, Lucain, wrote ten books about this whole conquest, from Gaul to Egypt. This album is dedicated to one of the darkest Gallic episod : destruction of sacred wood Lucus by Caesar. The Gauls had offered it to the gods and nobody was allowed to go inside. Not proud enough to win against the Gauls, Caesar decided to burn the Lucus to prove his superiority on Gallic deities.
I wish this album could make you feel the Gallic distress in front of burning Lucus.
All tracks composed and performed by Lord Aveu. Clean vocals by Arnev. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Lord Aveu in Naoned during the years 2008 and 2009. Artworks by Lord Aveu.
