Rosetta is an American post-metal band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania incorporating elements of post-hardcore, shoegazing, drone, post-rock, avant-garde and ambient, with influences as diverse as Neurosis and Isis, My Bloody Valentine, Frodus, and Stars of the Lid. The band somewhat humorously self-describes its music as "metal for astronauts", and its members are very interested in astronomy and space travel.

"Words were hard to find after that set but perfect is definitely one that springs to mind."
"This band's music is just so very alive on record and in a live setting receives a massive, extra dose of highly combustible rocket fuel."
"It's about the lived experience of being human, stripping back the layers of grime that we find ourselves enmeshed in this hyper-capitalist hellscape we live in."
Get ready!
"Think of it as less of a departure from what the band is renowned for but rather an expanded exploration through new territory."
Being in the post-metal game isn’t a full-time occupation, but it does afford Philadelphia’s Rosetta seemingly unobstructed creative freedom. Brendan Crabb takes a long, hard gaze at his shoes while talking to guitarist Matthew Weed.
You’ll need a few listens to get your head around this one…
