PANEM ET CIRCENSENS Live from the arena, thirty people listening, it’s the open season to go hunting crown of thorn and pine needles. Shining under local headquarters neons, the emblems of a city of belts boarding the battlefields of ambitions come to grip with each other. The world stops turning, taking its time beholding the “artist” putting on air and the principles of transfer of myth of long ago. The nauseous broken record praising the glory of yesterday of which they’re only the witnesses: a chocolate medal for every dreamt victory. The play is now performed at the counter or in front of the same shared plate... We won’t die of hunger anymore, we just die of boredom. So I see that your close enemies must be cherished if you want your quest to have meaning!

Rosetta never fails to hit on every level. The Red in Tooth and Claw SP808 remix is ethereal, haunting and deeply beautiful in its re-imagining of one of Rosetta's classic tracks. deathtoallpoets

Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
