Quintessential Ephemera is fifth studio album by post-metal band Rosetta and their first recording as a five-piece.
Background
[edit]In contrast to the darker hardcore influenced sound of The Anaesthete, Quintessential Ephemera saw Rosetta moving into more upbeat and melodic territory, with greater use of clean vocals by Eric Jernigan and David Grossman. The addition of Jernigan as a second guitarist also saw the band experiment more with counterpoint guitar melodies. Guitarist Matt Weed has frequently cited Oceansize as a major influence on the direction of Quintessential Ephemera.
