Details:
Luxembourgish artist Jerome Reuter's ROME will take the stage as part of the "Touch of Noir 2019" festival at the opderschmelz cultural centre on Friday 15 November 2019 at 20:00.
Considered one of the most important figures in the neofolk genre, ROME have spent the last thirteen years exploring and pushing their musical boundaries. Their music unites American folklore with Chanson and the angst-ridden tristesse of English Post Punk – "Chanson Noir", as leading man and sole permanent member Jerome Reuter, once called it. Reuter takes musical nods from Jacques Brel, Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Michael Gira and Nick Cave.
The protagonists of ROME's lyrical world are history's forgotten heroes and outsiders, most notably those of the 20th century: Anarchist rebels, the French resistance or Southern Africa's struggle for freedom. Now, ROME's thirteenth album "‘Le Ceneri Di Heliodoro" marks a return to the martial folk origins of the project and it is a grim and bleak picture Reuter is painting in these poignant folk songs.
