Album Release: Rosetta Stone Unveils 'Dose Makes The Poison'
In the world of gothic rock, the British band Rosetta Stone continues to make waves with their latest release, "Dose Makes The Poison". Formed in the mid-1980s in Liverpool, England, by Porl King (guitar, vocals, keyboards) and Karl North (bass), the band has been a fixture in the gothic music scene for decades.
Rosetta Stone's musical style has evolved over the years, blending gothic rock with elements of darkwave and synthpop. Their debut album, "An Eye for the Main Chance", released in 1991, captured their early gothic style. The band's sound has adapted to the evolving gothic and alternative music scenes, incorporating more electronic and synth-driven sounds in their later albums.
"Dose Makes The Poison", released in 2025 via Cleopatra Records, continues Rosetta Stone's sonic identity with atmospheric layers, gothic rock motifs, and sharp lyrical undercurrents. The lyrical direction of the album subtly reflects on cultural decline, particularly the creeping erosion of empathy, tolerance, and truth.
