Quintessential Ephemera

by Rosetta

supported by

Jorge Torres A perfect balance between sounds, they bring you light in every moment, this album and Utopioid helps me in darkest times... thank you guys Favorite track: (Untitled II).

FLESH MECHANIC Album that is mostly stripped of the heaviness to bring you a laid-back, melodic approach to post-metal. I absolutely love the string opera that is created here. The subtle side of Rosetta is probably the best side. Favorite track: (Untitled III).

eugie_panucci Just a brilliant statement by a band really knowing their craft. Only thing missing is a visit to Ireland Favorite track: Nothing in the Guise of Something.
