INVICTUS, the new solo project led by Maurizio Iacono, today unveils a lyric video for âBleed Me Out.â Currently playing courtesy of No Clean Singing, the bandâs latest single comes off their debut full-length, Unstoppable, set for release on October 21st via MNRK Heavy
Comments Iacono of the track, ââBleed Me Outâ is a song that deals with reopening old life wounds over and over and not being able to close them up. Eventually those turn into scars. I got plenty of them battle scars in my life time; the important thing is to keep moving forward. That’s ultimately the message behind this song, a diverse track musically that has enormous hooks. Itâs one of my faves on the album.â
Writes No Clean Singing in part, âThe riffing jolts, swirls, and blazes, and the music soars to extravagant heart-pounding heights, while the vocals themselves burn with unbridled passion, and they soar too, in spine-tingling fashion. There may not be blast-beat fusillades in the song, but the rhythm section still punch damned hard. The songâs melodies and vocal expressions seem in line with the songâs lyrical conception. Even at the zeniths of intensity, they seem to combine sorrow with resilience, both wistfulness and a drive to fight, and the brief but surprising softer moments in the track underscore the melancholy thatâs there even behind the audio novas in the songâ¦â

Well-respected as the singer of Kataklysm and Ex Deo, head of Hard Impact Artist Management, founder of Distortion Music Group, and co-owner of hard-and-heavy booking agency Continental Touring, Iacono delivers dynamic new layers of heaviness and melody with his latest creative vehicle. Conceived as an unflinching examination of fury and determination, INVICTUS explores the depths of struggle, frustration, and perseverance that shaped Iacono into the man he is today. A Latin epithet for various Roman deities, âInvictusâ translates to âunconqueredâ or âinvincible,â a theme put forward throughout Iaconoâs latest output.
Indeed, the eleven songs that make up Unstoppable offer an unflinching view of an unbreakable spirit, examined through the lens of ambitious, unapologetic heavy music. Iacono executed his vision alongside longtime collaborator J-F Dagenais (guitarist for Kataklysm and Ex Deo) and producer/main songwriter Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within). Powerhouse drummer Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc., Inhuman Condition) rounded out the record with a blistering performance. Iacono got to know Clancy, who often works alongside Colin Richardson and Andy Sneap, while making Kataklysmâs fourteenth album, 2020âs Unconquered.
Lyrically, the singer reached further inward for INVICTUS, summoning a fearless power destined to provoke and inspire those disenfranchised by modern times. âItâs a record about everyday struggle because Iâve always been a fighter,â Iacono reasons. âItâs about the emotional impact of everything happening in our world, which inspired this anger in me and a need to express the importance of standing for what we know is true in our hearts. Itâs a hybrid between that and revisiting things from my childhood that built me as a person.â
âOccupying a similar sonic space to Kataklysm on the new song, INVICTUS dig into exactly four minutes of fist-pumping, anthemic death metal.â â MetalSucks on âGet Upâ
âIf youâve been in the mood for something thatâll kick your ass right into gear, then youâre going to dig the relentlessly driving nature of âExiled.â Because letâs face it â what else did you expect from Iacono?â â Metal Injection
