PART 2 OF THE TRILOGY "DIE AESTHETIK DER HERRSCHAFTSFREIHEIT". Here, ROME present a stylistic and emotional potpourri where all manner ofthings are on offer: rousing folk numbers with an almost seditious air, dark romantic ballads as well as intimiste collages. Without ever becoming enslaved to one particular ideological alignment or descending into nihilism, the song cycle portrays the history of the libertarian/revolutionary movement within Europe and at the same time underlines the human importance of such an endeavour. After volume 1 tried to capture the initial spark of a revolt, the strength of an awakening, volume 2 concerns itself with the beauty of the righteous fight and also the constantly impending danger of it becoming perverted. “We must doubt ourselves.The clarity of our intentions, the profundity of our thoughts, the benevolence of our deeds! We must doubt our own truthfulness! Do lies not already linger in them again?” – Ilse AichingerReleased mid-January, 2012 on Trisol.Track Listing:01 The brute Engine02 Seeds of Liberation03 To each gis Storm04 Sons of Aeeth05 August Spies06 To be Governed07 Families of Eden08 Red Years - Black Years09 Little Rebel Mine10 The breaking Part11 Eagle and Serpent12 A Cross of Fire
