Rome
Neo-Folk
Luxembourg
Active
As a small label specializing in Swedish ambient industrial acts, Cold Meat Industry made an interesting choice in signing Rome, a martial folk project from Luxembourg. Jérôme Reuter has lived up to the label's expectations, however, producing some genre-straddling releases that have a distinctly neo-folk appeal but still somehow sound right at home next to other Cold Meat Industry labelmates.
If one were to imagine a family tree describing the evolution of dark music, Rome might be the common ancestor linking several post-industrial branches, from black ambient to martial industrial to neofolk. All in turn, Reuter incorporates ritual drumming, military cadences, ambient atmospherics, and folksy acoustic guitar strumming, often in the same song. For music lovers who can appreciate the unsettling soundscapes of CMI's showcase artists and the ethereal storytelling of neofolk mainstays in equal turn, Rome is a highly recommended melting pot.
