Rosetta is an American post-metal band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, known for their atmospheric blend of metal, post-hardcore, and ambient music, creating expansive and emotive soundscapes. Formed in 2003, the group has consistently bucked industry trends, opting instead to follow their own artistic path. The band comprises Mike Armine (vocals, sounds), David Grossman (bass), Bruce McMurtrie Jr. (drums), and Matt Weed (guitar).

The band's debut double album, "The Galilean Satellites," released in 2005, immediately set them apart, showcasing their signature blend of celestial calm and thunderous chaos. Rosetta's discography is a testament to their evolution and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of their sound. Albums such as "Wake/Lift" (2007) and "A Determinism of Morality" (2010) cemented their standing in the scene, while later releases like "Utopioid" (2017) and "Terra Sola" (2019) continue to expand their sonic universe. Their music often explores profound themes, bridging the cosmic and the personal, and earning them a devoted following. Known for their DIY ethos, Rosetta's direct engagement with their fans and their approach to music as a labor of love, rather than merely a commercial venture, sets them apart in the modern music landscape.
