Rosetta

Rosetta, in my eyes, are undisputable the best metal band around. They're what got me into 'metal' and harder music as a whole, and continue to blow my mind every time I decide to listen again. Take heed, if you have not heard Rosetta, you really must.



Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites [2005]
sludge metal, post-metal, drone metal
v0

Apparently, if you line up the first and second discs to start playing at the same time, it turns into some sort of new masterpeice - I don't know why I still haven't done it. First disc is their typical hard, epic sludge. Second disc is hard, epic drone.

1-1 Departe
1-2 Europa
1-3 Absent
1-4 Itinerant
1-5 Au Pays Natal
2-1 Deneb
2-2 Capella
2-3 Beta Aquilae
2-4 Ross 128
2-5 Sol






Rosetta & Balboa - Project Mercury [2006]
sludge metal, post-metal
192

Balboa isn't bad.

01 Balboa - Primitive Accumulation
02 Balboa - Kaddish
03 Balboa - Planet of Slums
04 Rosetta - TMA-1
05 Rosetta - Clavius
06 Rosetta & Balboa - Project Mercury






Rosetta - Wake/Lift [2007]
sludge metal, post-metal
v0

Probably their most widely acclaimed album, probably for good reason. It opens amazingly and never gets bad. Definitely the place to start if you're new.

01 Red in Tooth and Claw
02 Lift (part 1)
03 Lift (part 2)
04 Lift (part 3)
05 Wake
06 (Temet Nosce)
07 Monument






Rosetta - The Cleansing Undertones of Wake/Lift [2007]
drone metal
v0

A strictly drone album inspired by Wake/Lift. (Not something to sync with Wake/Lift like the second disc of The Galilean Satellites) I've found it makes a good theme for power-naps. Mostly because it's powerful.

01- 1
02- 2
03- 3
04- 4
