Rosetta is an american post metal band from Pennsylvania created in 2003 by four high school friends who had already had some experience in other bands. The band is very space rock influenced, having their lyrical themes revolving around astronomy subjects.
Their formation line-up consisted of four members: Michael Armine (vocalist, keyboardist and synths), David Grossman (bassist), Bruce McMurtrie Jr (drummer) and J. Matthew Weed (guitar, violin and piano). In 2014 guitarist Eric Jernigan joined the band. The line-up hasn't changed since then.
Rosetta has released 6 albums so far, the first three were released under Translation Loss label, and the rest were self-released. Their debut, "The Galilean Satellites", is a two-disc album about a spaceman, which shows the band's spacial lyrics. It can be considered a concept album. since it tells the story of "a man who becomes dissatisfied with the world around him and leaves to find a place of solitude (Europa, one of the galilean satellites of Jupiter). However, upon reaching it, he realizes that he left behind things that were meaningful to him". The second disc is an ambient version of the first. The sound produced in this album would later also appear on "Wake/Lift" and further changed on "A Determinism of Morality". It's incredibly harsh, very agressive and abrasive, mixed together with a spacial and atmospheric feeling. On "A Determinism of Morality", the band expanded into a more progressive sound, maintaning that out-of-this-world and abrasive feeling from the first two albums. On their self-released albums, they incorporated drone influences, expanding their sound even further.

Their magnum opus is, in my opinion. The Galilean Satellites. The storyline is very interesting and makes it worth paying attention to the lyrics. A Determinism of Morality is better for prog death enthusiasts, and the last three have more appeal to drone fans.
