Background notes
Archive material and source history
ROMERO came out of Chicago with a sound that mixed metal and post-hardcore with something darker and more atmospheric. Their early EP 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things' from 2006 set the tone, and they followed it with albums like their self-titled 2008 LP and later releases such as 'The Violence' in 2016.
The band's lineup included Aaron Gillespie on vocals and drums, Drew Scheuermann on guitar, Jonathan Snipes on bass, and Josh Scogin handling screams. Their music often leaned into unsettling themes, with songs like 'Aequitas' and 'Godless' building on that foundation of heavy rhythms and eerie textures.
They put out records steadily through the 2010s, including 'Apothesism' in 2012 and 'Screaming and Bleeding' in 2019. While they never became mainstream, they developed a following among listeners drawn to that particular blend of aggression and atmosphere.
