Rosetta - [2007]Wake/Lift
Rosetta are an ambient sludge/post-metal outfit from Philadelphia. The music on the 64 minute 'Wake/Lift' (an album name surely made to fuck with my anal-retentive folder naming convention) ranges from turbo-fuzzed guitar tones, massive, crushing riffs with heavy and distorted screams, to some quite peaceful, calm interludes, with satisfyingly gratuitous amounts ambient noise and delay. Inspiration seems to be drawn from bands like Nerosis and Isis, particularly in the softer sections, and very much so with the drumming.
Some really beautiful progression in the longer tracks on this album, particularly the closing song 'Monument', where the first _ minutes (number omitted for your own good) are a cock-tease, eluding to the brilliance that is about to unfold.
Listen to this album loud, preferably with some good quality headphones/speakers.
