Rosetta - Soot

     Remember last year's critical darlings Rosetta and their densely atmospheric post-prog metal album The Anaesthete? Yeah, those guys: they flew under a few radars, but also garnered a fair amount of praise for their fourth LP. And now they're back with a new EP.

     I could go on at some length describing the sound of Flies to Flame, comparing it to The Anaesthete, comparing it to other bands, and otherwise generally exercising my typing fingers. Or, you could listen to the opening track "Soot" and get swept away by Rosetta's latest release. The nine-and-a-half minutes of "Soot" take a little bit to get going, but I promise you the release will be worth the build up, and you'll be left drained and wanting more. Headphones are recommended for this one.
