Circle of Doubt,ivative Rosetta West is a brooding, hypnotic blues–rock incantation that enthralls you and makes it hard to look away. From the first grinding guitar riff the song oozes weary, world worn intensity—guitars slither like smoke, heavy with the weight of spiritual exhaustion, the rhythm section lock into a groove that feels both ancient and urgent. At a gravelly whisper, a howl, Joseph Demagore’s vocals embody the push-and-pull of being trapped in your own mental labyrinth.
The thing about the track is it’s duality: The verses buzz with a bluesy, almost claustrophobic shuffling, like a cycle of frustration in the face of cyclical doubt; the solos surge upwards, apocalyptic flights of delusion or —wait no, clarity. It’s always psychedelic without being indulgent, mystical without losing its raw edge. Demagore and Jason X handle production with a wonderfully murky aesthetic, letting each instrument breathe whilst still creating a dense, intoxicating atmosphere.
Circle of Doubt isn’t just a song, it’s a ritual. Rosetta West pours their outsider energy into the deeply personal and the universally resonant. If you like dark, soul stirring rock, this is a spell in which you definitely want to fall under this. Circle of Doubt invites you to explore your own depths, making it an unforgettable listening experience.
