“A Determinism of Morality” is not bad. Not at all. It sounds completely and wholly like Rosetta. Every square milimeter of these songs is typical of their style. It just disappoints in comparison to their past, as they don’t quite execute the sound with the same fervor that you might expect them to. If you would like a recommendation of a good Rosetta album to start with, look earlier in their career. If you’re looking for good albums thusfar this year, look here. It may not be on any best of lists, but it certainly deserves a couple listens at the very least.

To be released on April 27th, the four tracks on this behemoth mini-release encompass over 32 minutes of patented MOTA intensity. The band bring a slightly more metallic approach to some of the material, yet still bridge their cavernous buildups with beautiful, spiritual passages.
