Rosetta have premiered a new song titled “Self-Dealing Position.” You can check that out below. The track will appear on the band’s final album, “Temporal Lapse,” which will be released on November 27. A new trailer for that effort is available below as well.
Guitarist Matt Weed commented on the record:
“In late 2019 when we began working on the songs, we intended to focus on climate change. As we explored that concept, we became interested in the grief / loss dimension of environmental destruction — essentially, the human experience of loss as nature gives way to something else.
However, in 2020 the pandemic stopped the whole process cold, and it took years to get started again. In that time, a lot of personal grief and loss happened. I lost my house to a fire in 2022. Eric and I both lost our dads. Rather than looking at climate change through the lens of grief and loss, we ended up looking at personal grief and loss through the imagery of climate change and apocalypse.”
He also added:
“This is the final album. We’re not breaking up; there’s always openness to doing interesting things together in the future. But even as far back as 2019, we intended to release one more full length as a capstone, do a ‘victory lap’ tour around the world, and then be done with Rosetta as it existed before.”
