If you need an introduction to the opus of Jerome Reuter, a.k.a. Rome, you might be best advised to think of him as a modern-day bard. This might help you understand his motivation, his aims, his concepts and his hyper-productivity…. Continue Reading →
It was the first time I travelled to Luxembourg for a concert and I can say that I didn’t expect to leave with such a good impression. The occasion was Slipknot’s one-off appearance between dates on which they were… Continue Reading →
There are few musicians who are as committed to the European Idea as Jerome Reuter. Through his music, under the band name Rome, he has been promoting Europe, both geographically, as a naturally cohesive entity, and philosophically, as a place… Continue Reading →
I think it’s going a bit far to describe Feradur as “Luxembourg’s death metal royalty” as the publicity does, since I’m struggling to name any band from the Grand Duchy, let alone anyone blessed with royalty. Still, this EP is… Continue Reading →

It’s been just a year since Cradle Of Filth last hit this venue, that time with Behemoth and Inquisition. Their performance that night – which included numerous old gems such as ‘Haunted Shores’ and ‘Beneath the Howling Stars’ – got… Continue Reading →
