The Burning of Rome
Blending elements of showtune pop and horror shock-rock, The Burning of Rome’s musically bipolar nature is more than a disease, it’s a musical phenomenon.
What San Diego City Beat Magazine calls “music for the circus of the underworld - done in all the right ways”, the group has managed to cut a stylistic niche into the heart of the music industry that is yet unprecedented. Deriving influence from such artists as Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle), Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo), and Phil Spector, the mixture of orchestral pop with dark rock has led the San Diego based seven-piece to the release of their second album: DEATH-POP.
With the circulation of DEATH-POP, the group has continued their momentum on the music circuit with another set of tours throughout the western states - this being done independently, and with the support of fans rather than a label. Eagerly awaiting the opportunity for a coast-to-coast tour, the three-year established band has set out on a crusade to spread a message of revolution, romance and rampage -through a medium of avant-garde instrumentation, catchy lyrics, and eerie melodies.
