Romus’ vision of art takes the darkness and light of
his own persona with that of the group members and
translates it into musical combinations. Through the
use of electronic & acoustic instrumentation, Romus
composes his music to elicit a “feeling” as opposed to
just simply entertain. The sound performed by the
Lords of Outland follow a gut level harshness building
upon a sparse structure while utilizing free
improvisation, noise and everything inbetween. 

"The Lords are not easily disciplinable people: they
play with destructive attitude and serious
musicianship, even tackling Albert Ayler (a great
rendition of "Universal Indians") who looms like a
ghostly father figure behind the group. Romus' sax
rekindles that flame egregiously, thematic sketches
becoming instant excuses for the instruments to
coalesce into a gruelling mass of Pollockian sonic
painting that plumps on the brain and self-adjusts
until your synapses are completely disjointed."
Massimo Ricci, TouchingExtremes.org
