The neo-folk/martial industrial act Rome is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025 and has a string of no less than seven releases scheduled throughout the year to celebrate this - the first batch of which will be released on 25 April.

Jerome Reuter, the Luxembourgish troubadour behind Rome, is set to release a trio of releases on 25 April to mark the latest decade in the project's continuous evolution. The records, Civitas Solis, The Dublin Session II, and Anthology 2016-2025, will all be released via Trisol Music Group GmbH.

For his musical project Rome, Jerome Reuter chose the fate of Europe as his main subject matter. Since 2005, Reuter has written many songs and concept albums focusing on key moments in European history, which reflect and comment on its myths and narratives. With the artist's desinvolture, Rome deconstructs historical events and ideologemes to analyse them from various perspectives, only to return them as questions to the listener. Reuter oscillates between a half-angry, half-melancholic witness and participant, from whose individual-objective viewpoint all things are inevitably charged with pathos. Rome invites us to observe, discern and shudder, but also to be reborn and shine anew, to "walk in brightest black".

You can now listen to the remastered version of the song "Alesia", taken from the upcoming release Anthology 2016-2025. In other news, Rome is embarking on a European and Australian tour this summer.  Link
