Style......: Modern Classical, Neofolk Label.....: Trisol
After having played in several underground bands in Luxembourg,singer-songwriter Jerome Reuter almost unintentionally founded ROME in December 2005 by recording a now legendary demo tape at a friend's studio in Germany. That demo is now known as ROME's first official release, the Berlin EP and the friend and engineer, Patrick Damiani, has become the second creative force in ROME. After having released three groundbreaking albums at a breathtaking pace (Nera - 2006; Confessions d'un Voleur d'Ames - 2007 and Masse Mensch Material - 2008), ROME found a home in the German label Trisol and released its latest opus Flowers From Exile in June 2009.
The music and lyrical world of ROME is genuinely unique and constantly brilliant. Blending excellent songwriting craftsmanship, unusual arrangements and fine poetry into one monstruous and intimate musical output that combines chanson, dark ambient, apocalyptic folk, pop, acoustic rock, martial industrial, cold wave û all rolled into one impressive avantgarde package. The lyrical beauty of Reuter's compositions and the complex arrangements of Damiani make ROME an unusually challenging musical experience. A must for music lovers.
