At the end of the project\u2019s 20th anniversary celebrations, ROME tolls in the next era of the band with two fresh and visionary albums: \u2018The Tower\u2019 and \u2018The Hierophant\u2019.<\/p>\n
ROME\u2019s new and ever more mature sound is informed by a radically minimalist folk approach, with nonetheless charmingly lush arrangements. \u2018The Tower\u2019 is an introspective and enigmatic work at whose center stands nothing less than ROME\u2019s raison d\u2019etre: The Great Work and the sacrifices both necessary and essential on the demanding path to light.<\/p>\n
As an unreachable bulwark against the general decline of every value in life, the tower would have been erected long ago to defend the coast. It would have been raised on a rocky platform resting on the sea floor. It would have been joined to the continent by a thin tongue of sand. It would have offered a heroic, magical point of view. A place for our claim to know and point out vaster horizons. It would have stood firm on the ramparts. This isolated tower would not have been just a refuge for more or less mystic escape, but also a post of resistance and combat.<\/p>\n
Reuter\u2019s poetry is the voice of the solitary spirit. A remarkable feat, lyrically demanding, ROME\u2019s songs require of the listener a willingness to penetrate shadows and trace the inner drama of the modern world clearly, calmly and convincingly.<\/p>\n
In a time which celebrates noise, fame and convenience, here is the well-crafted antidote, a hymn of praise to obscurity, difficulty and silence. ROME\u2019s \u2018The Tower\u2019 is an unmissable majestic experience that won’t leave you indifferent.<\/p>\n
ROME\u2019s dual release of \u2018The Tower\u2019 and \u2018The Hierophant\u2019 is a twin engine of magical splendour. Not to be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
