Album Description
Available in:
"Quintessential Ephemera" is fifth full-length album by post-metal band Rosetta and their first recording as a five-piece. The album was self-released on June 22, 2015.
In stark contrast to the darker hardcore influenced sound of The Anaesthete, Quintessential Ephemera saw Rosetta moving into more upbeat and melodic territory, with greater use of clean vocals by Eric Jernigan as well as David Grossman. The addition of Jernigan as a second guitarist also saw the band experiment more with counterpoint guitar melodies.

User Album Review
Strictly by definition, Quintessential Ephemera means "the most perfect example of a quality, that exists for only a short time," and across nine tracks Rosetta manage to cultivate a listening experience that echoes this sentiment with utter conviction. Bookended by lush instrumentals, the record leaps through seven untitled songs, with a focus on haunting and pained screamed vocals, interspersed with melodic singing across verses and choruses. Where the band has flirted briefly with these on previous releases, they are now heavily weaved into the sonic design, thanks to the welcome addition of good friend and City of Ships guitarist/vocalist Erik Jernigan as a full time band member.
Quintessential Ephemera features colossal, epic, rumbling tracks that ebb and flow with an ethereal vastness and intricacy that has become a hallmark for the band, and finds them continuing to explore lyrical themes of religion, isolation, technology, emptiness and social consciousness.
