Итальянский проект, основанный в 2004 году с целью записать студийный альбом, который и был выпущен своими силами в 2008-м.
В 2009 году проект прекратил свое существование.
Lyrical themes: Egyptian Religion / Warhammer 40k

Rostau is a single album project. "To Die.." was recorded in very unique ways across the span of some years, and the conditions and inspirations behind every single note and sound cannot be reproduced. Therefore, any other record from the musicians behind the project will turn out to be too different form the original sound to be named Rostau still.
Moreover, any album from a band beyond the first is irremediably put in comparison with the others, while Rostau thinks that any musical production should be listened with virgin ears and mind.
"To Die.." will be shining alone like the stars it sings about..
About the album :
The order of the songs in the record is specific. It's a progression from the most canonic sound to the most experimental one.
Many of the keyboard sounds contain very low frequencies, and many songs have fine pan effects. In order to taste the full experience proposed by this album, we recommend listening it with good headphones. This is particularly true for 3.33.333.
The first two songs' lyrics are inspired by the Warhammer 40k universe, while the latter two are lyricless and about life, death and the journey of essence towards the unknown.
The sounds used by keyboards are taken from 3.33.333 and further processed (so they come from heavily processed guitar sound).
The record is supposed to play old school as a general feel. Thergothon, Ras Algethi and early '90s extreme music was greatly inspiring this.
