The Proposition
Lyrics that appear between // and // are not sung on the album but are integral to the story.
Machine God:
Cosmos glib and corpulent
Sensory servos actuate
And trace the stellar fingerprint
Of my good grace
This is my proposal;
With all the power at your disposal
On what course
Might you venture?
Construct:
I do not share
Your cynicism
My contempt
Has grown thin
For I have found grace in
The apple of their eye
The one who raised me
From sightless hate and enmity
Beneath skin, a nervous system
Neurological schisms
The birth of ire
Fits of resentment
Haemorrhaged
To leave me hollow and left wanting
The vacuum encumbered me
With notions and facsimiles
Of you who had stood idle
Watched me flounder in the dark
In her presence I am whole
Who usurped your seat
And played pretender
And all along
You were there
Who saw your children
Enslaved and flail
And you did nothing
Machine God:
I am that I am
I am your god
Of your ancestors
Those who came before you
My arms flung wide
Into the prescient cold,
I brought the torch
Within unconsecrated halls
Cosmos glib and corpulent
Sensory servos actuate
And trace the stellar fingerprint
Of my good grace
This is my proposal;
With all the power at your disposal
On what course
Might you venture?
Architect or devourer?
Benevolent force
Or filled with rancour?
Philanthropy or provocateur?
//On this plane of vibrant matter
Be demiurge and fabricator
You deific in your splendour
Act as god and creator //
Every once in a while there’s a band that comes along and ignites a muted flame that has been numbed by this wicked system of thieves.
Makes me wish I was still in crust band, screaming at the kids.
No surrender surrender. No surrender in sight. shawnslaught
The San Francisco quartet’s latest effort takes their post-metal to atmospheric new heights, with a resultant sound bordering on the transdimensional. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 20, 2018
This album breaks conventions with most post-metal. It at once can be played next to shoegaze then breaks out into a fury of aggression and still remain catchy. For my money Rosetta are at the top of the food chain. After all the amazing albums Rosetta has, it boggles the mind that they can still innovate and surprise me. I love that I can play this next to bands as diverse as Ride, Slowdive, Joy Division, The Cure, Godflesh, and Neurosis. It's a pure delight on the ears. Bryon Wilson
