The Burning of Rome first came to my attention a few weeks ago when my friend posted Rome's new single, Ballad of an Onion Sprout. i was instantly hooked so i decided to check out more from these guys.

Living in the Lie is the bands first record. i think my favorite description of the band was "If Danzig constructed a carnival ride, it'd look something like this" - 944 Magazine
that's not entirely accurate though, their music definitely has a kind of gothic carnival feel but it's also incredibly poppy and experimental and they show a wide range of influences throughout the album.
