Rosetta is an American post-metal band incorporating elements of death metal, drone music, and ambient music creating a sprawling, atmospheric sound similar to Neurosis and Cult of Luna, and referred to by some as "space metal". Their debut album, The Galilean Satellites, featured two separate hour-long discs (one of more metal-oriented music, and one of ambience) that synchronize together.
After the release of Project Mercury on April 24th, 2007, they will release a new album in August through Translation Loss. The band also has future plans for splits with Souvenir's Young America and Atheist Prayer around September 2007.
