Only a few months after the release of it's first full-length album Nera, Rome came back to show they were here to stay. Confessions d’un voleur d’ames is a call from a world where love and despair are locked in an embrace; it is a black craving in the fangs of war and the joys of stealth in a riot of blossoms. This second album is calmer and more personal than Nera. The confessions are often dark and poetic, sometimes brutal, but most of all intimate. It has traces of all types of obscure music genres: ambient, neo-classical, dark wave, apocalyptic folk, and martial industrial. Rome couldn’t care less about genre boundaries. The tone is less militant, the main themes being treachery, sacrifice, temperance, and composure. With a distinctive slice of suicide pop fiddled into their exquisitely dark sound, Rome has established itself as one of the liveliest and most interesting experimental folk acts around. These confessions prove that the group is a force to be reckoned with.
