Rome

The Profile

Rome is the musical project of Luxembourgish singer-songwriter Jerome Reuter, frequently described in these reviews as a leading contemporary figure in apocalyptic folk/neo-folk, known for historical concept albums and a distinctive baritone delivery.

From the reviews: debut EP “Berlin” (2006) is mentioned; “Nera” is described as the first full-length (2006, Cold Meat Industry). Reuter is repeatedly presented as Luxembourgish and as the central/solo creator of Rome, often handling writing/performing himself; collaborator/producer Patrick Damiani is credited as pivotal on “Flowers From Exile” and “Nos Chants Perdus,” and Duke Baudhuin is cited as studio/mixing support on later work. Publicly verifiable at a high level: Rome is Jerome Reuter’s project, active since the mid-2000s, commonly associated with neo-folk/apocalyptic folk.
