'World in Flames' is a drastic work that has been reduced to the bare and brute essentials. In contrast to many previous albums, 'World in Flames' is not an intimate drama, but rather a ruthless and unsparing dissection of the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndeed, much like the world itself, this powerful mini-album is divided into two parts. Brutal industrial sounds meet carefully crafted songwriting endowed with a lyrical quality that has become the hallmark of ROME. In these songs, Reuter meticulously traces the collapse of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes ROME's artistic soul from other contemporary writers is the unapologetic relentlessness of its very own poetics of the divide.\u003cbr\u003eProphetic?
