Rosetta West – Deeper Than Magic

“Deeper Than Magic” by Rosetta West is a frightening adventure into the depths of the human mind, where the lines between reality and illusion precisely blur. Leading the way on guitar and vocals is songwriter Joseph Demagore, accompanied by Jason X on bass and keyboards, Nathan Q. Scratch on drums and percussion, and together they create an unsettling yet engaging atmosphere. A combination of psychedelic bass and ethereal vocals surrounds listeners from the outset of the piece, creating a mood that is both hypnotic and frightening. The vocalist’s delivery of each frightening line pulls listeners further into the story with an emotional impact equal to that of a horror storyteller. Musically, “Deeper Than Magic” draws influences from the likes of Queens Of the Stone Age and Blues Rock, while also channeling the vibes of 1960s psychedelia. The guitar work, in particular, stands out with its nostalgia-inducing aura, enhanced by reverb effects that transport listeners directly into the heart of a horror event. The complicated relationship between the instrumentation and the haunting vocal delivery increases the tension and uneasiness that dominates the entire song. The tension builds with every note and chord sequence, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats right up to the very end.
