Rosetta West’s Snake 25 Is a Wild Journey Through Rock and Ritual

An ambitious and epic offering, Snake 25 is the cracking new single from Illinois-based blues-rockers Rosetta West. Beginning in a moody and contemplative vein, it's not long before raw, aggressive guitar work and boisterous drums are introduced. Joseph Demagore's vocals take on a more commanding and fierce presence, and the listener is now deep in the throws of a stormy and riff-fuelled sonic adventure that refuses to let up.

Using Gnostic imagery to tell a deeply personal tale, Snake 25 is a classic example of Rosetta West's tendency to venture into themes of mysticism and spirituality. Pair that with a gritty and uncompromising blend of psychedelic and hard rock, and what you get is a hugely compelling and distinctive sound.

With fans scattered all over the globe and a steady army of loyal online followers, Rosetta West deserve all the plaudits that come their way. They've concocted a style and an aura that's clearly resonating, and it's not hard to see why. 

If Snake 25 tickles your fancy, the good news is that there's a whole lot more Rosetta West to dive into!
