Junius / Rosetta

Junius / Rosetta is a split EP by American art rock band Junius and American post metal band Rosetta. After several years of planning, the title was made available on September 27, 2011 through Translation Loss in CD format, and on November 22, 2011 through The Mylene Sheath in vinyl format. However, the vinyl release was limited, and only 1,000 copies have been pressed for distribution.^[11] Junius / Rosetta includes two original tracks by both bands and a download card to obtain additional content online, including two cover songs.
