Rosetta West Unleashes Mythical Fury in “Snake 25”
Chicago’s underground blues-rock veterans Rosetta West are back with "Snake 25," an audacious, mysterious, and mystical track that takes no prisoners when combining furious intensity with profound lyrical content. The usual melding of psychedelic, world folk, and blues-rooted rock, the band continues to provide live experiences that are more than a sonic adventure.
"Snake 25" begins a transformative audio experience unlike the montage of ambient spaciness, only to unearth itself as a full-throttle hard rock track. The raging guitar, the pounding strings and percussion, and the evocative wails of Demagore's vocals create an altogether immersive, chaotic space - a force as artistically demonstrated by Gnostic-inspired lyrical content.
The ideation of transformation, enlightenment, and serpentine forces of foreknowledge/deception contributes both a mythical and sentimental value that one can embrace and reflects experience. Joseph Demagore and Jason X (vocals, guitars, and keyboards; bass, keyboards, co-producer respectively) have spent years continuing to succeed in this rigged industry and on their terms with a roguishly independent career. Rosetta West is going on the record stating that their spirit and soul rock, with the realities of living, have engaged audiences worldwide. Their drummer is Nathan Q. Scratch, holding an underground artistic space like the others who dare not conform to industry standards.
"Snake 25" is a wonderful example of Rosetta West's disregard for safety, combining atmospheric tension, a blazing rock sound, and profound lyrics into one mesmerizing experience. With their cult following slowly growing around the world, this track showcases the band's relentless creativity and fidelity to artistic integrity.
