Kasper Rosa - The Live Session

Artist: Kasper Rosa
Track: The Fires of Great Ships / Scaling Mount Improbable
Album: TBA (2012) / EP2 (2009)

Kasper Rosa is a progressive post-metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. To date they have released a 5 track EP in 2009 titled 'EP2', and two singles in 'Coronal Mass Injection' and 'First Breath. First Blood' both in 2011. Influences range from Oceansize and Mastodon through to Opeth, Porcupine Tree and Incubus. The band’s experimental take on recording material has gained them credible reputation locally, and on stage have played on the same bill as Maybeshewill, LITE and 65daysofstatic.

Kasper Rosa are currently laying the foundations for a project that is due for release in 2012. In the meantime downloads are available from their Bandcamp. My advice is get them all. Below is a recent live session, 20 mins long so sit back and enjoy.
