After two successful albums, Nera and Confessions d un voleur d ames, Rome blessed the world with its 12-track knock-out Masse Mensch Material, which holds more than one musical surprise! Rome s particular brand of post-industrial folk, combined with new-wave songwriting and neo-classical arrangements, takes on a new and poppy twist. But these outstanding songs have too much depth to be dismissed as mere pop music. This third album has a more subtle darkness, and is one of Rome s best works to date. A work of art of extreme sincerity, Masse Mensch Material revolves around the themes of love, faith, and endurance. Rome created a fascinating world of contradictions that each song lays out with clarity, all the cruelty and kindness intact.
