"Flies To Flame" is a powerful CD release by the Philadelphia-based band Rosetta, presented by the respected underground label Translation Loss. Musically, this EP/CD captures Rosetta's signature blend of post-metal, atmospheric sludge and ambient soundscapes: long, evolving compositions with dense guitar layers, massive drums and a deep, emotional vocal delivery. The songs move between crushing heaviness and floating, almost meditative passages, creating a cinematic listening experience that rewards full-album immersion from start to finish. "Flies To Flame" is ideal for listeners who appreciate thoughtful, dynamic songwriting, textured guitar work and a sound that bridges the gap between post-rock introspection and metal intensity.
