on the first album you couldn't help but notice an overall kinda carnival feel, reminiscent at times of PT Grimm, but on this, their 2nd album, they've pushed that to the background and have pretty much decided to be a  super experimental pop band. the album is called Death-Pop and that's probably a fitting description for their style of music. there are so many different influences and themes here.

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.
