Rosetta Stone - Dose Makes The Poison [Green & Black Splatter]

arkwave just got a lethal injection of style with Dose Makes The Poison, the shadowy and synth-heavy release from goth trailblazers Rosetta Stone. This special edition comes pressed on striking green and black splatter vinyl - perfectly matching the album’s moody, venomous aesthetic.

Originally released in 2020, this record marked Rosetta Stone’s continued resurgence, with founding member Porl King handling all vocals, instruments, and programming. Tracks like “In Black,” “Making a Bomb,” and “With This (I’m Done)” are awash in cold-wave textures, pounding electronic drums, and that signature post-punk atmosphere. The melodies are infectious, but they carry a bite, lyrically introspective, politically charged, and tinged with dystopian dread.

King’s production style is razor-sharp and layered, balancing nostalgia for the band’s ‘90s roots with a fresh, modern sheen. There’s a mechanical elegance to every track, a cyberpunk pulse that keeps things driving forward even in the bleakest moments.

This limited green & black splatter pressing is as visually arresting as the music itself goth, but make it glamorously toxic. Dose Makes The Poison isn’t just a clever title - it’s a philosophy. And this vinyl? It’s the perfect dose for fans of darkwave done right.
