"Fester" is a ritual fight with one's own personal demons, a journey not devoid
of self-derision. These twilight songs are like a glimpse into a world of
otherness. ROME was founded on forward motion ("Bewegung entsteht durch
Haltung") and like a true moloch it expels its dead. With 8 critically acclaimed
and remarkable (concept) albums in as many years, ROME have built a considerable
following in the world's darker musical scenes. Yet, the myth of this ROME is
cast in the future tense. This ROME remains vibrant and far removed from the
shorthand of conventional imagery, from the distortion of nostalgia û the
inarticulate contempt for the present and fear of the future. On "Fester" this
contempt is quite articulate and one can taste the fear that lies at the root of
it all. This record brings ROME back to the city, back to the gutter and into
the actual world of its author, Jerome Reuter: a world where the sacred and
profound, history and eternity, man and god remain completely separated.
Musically "Fester" offers a mixture of what might be termed Murder Folk and
Junky Ballads, far removed from the martial drum beats and retrosampling û yet
more anger-fueled than ever before. Featuring two tracks from the album HELL
MONEY (in an exclusive alternate version), one exclusive track and a
stripped-bare remodeling of the ROME classic "Le Vertige Du Vide" -done
FESTER-style!
