Rosetta Stone, Under the Weather
I recently got a copy of the new Rosetta album....very much a continuation of Porls Miserylab and Rosetta output the last few years. Not as dynamic as the classic stuff, and a bit samey, but I rather like it. Any thoughts?

Didn't realise they were putting stuff out still, I'll have to check it out - I liked some Miserylab stuff.
Porl Young also of Rosetta Stone has joined Massive Ego very recently.

There have been 3 albums in recent years under the Rosetta Stone name... Seems like Forever, Cryptology and Under the Weather.... The first one was reworked versions of Miserylab material. Since finishing Miserylab, Porl also released stuff under the In Death it Ends name, but it wasn't my sort of thing and only heard a few tracks
The Rosetta releases are ok, very much in the same vein as Miserylab. ... bur the songs are crying out for a bass player Luke Karl!

Agree entirely on all counts - very much in Miserylab style, all quite samey, but also very decent at the same time. I particularly like the last track on the album “Change”, which has a Suicide-style beat and reminds me of TSOM’s “Train”. If you like this kind of thing, Deathtrippers have a new release imminent too.

Is this new? This is... well, not very impressive. The synth bass is inappropriately jaunty, it actually sounds kind of what Von's original demos tapped out on a Casio in 1986 might have sounded like.
