Allegro tempo sets a lively Neapolitan tarantella groove, driven by crisp percussions and bright tambourines, Gentle mandolin and shamisen open with interlocking picking, joined by subtle bass and airy shakuhachi lines, Female vocals float in napolitan dialect, entwined with layered harmonies and intricate counterpoint, Taiko and shamisen intensify the rhythmic pulse, while theremin and koto weave in ethereal, haunting textures that drift through each section, adding depth and mystery to the lively folk-dance energy

4:59

A 170 BPM modern melodic power metal anthem of 4-5 minutes length fused with โ80s eurodance and synthwave, built on galloping rhythm guitars, tight palm-mutes, and bright harmonized leads, Punchy double-kick and big snare drive the energy, while retro arpeggiator synths, cinematic pads, and fleeting neon-console sparkle fill the wide stereo field, Verses start intimate with range-shifting soaring power metal vocalsโairy falsetto, clean highs, belted peaksโbuilding tension, The chorus erupts with massive, multi-tracked vocal stacks, gang shouts, and lush cathedral reverb, amplifying triumphant drama, The glossy, spacious mix boasts long reverb on choirs and crystal clarity throughout
5:26

A high-energy rock anthem with a driving rhythm section and prominent electric guitars, The song features a male lead vocalist with a powerful, slightly raspy voice, The tempo is fast, around 160 BPM, The key is E minor, The song structure includes distinct verses, a pre-chorus, and a powerful chorus, The guitars employ heavy distortion and palm-muting for a chunky, aggressive sound, The bass guitar provides a solid, driving low end, often mirroring the guitar riffs, The drums feature a strong backbeat with frequent cymbal crashes and fills, particularly during transitions, The production is clean and punchy, with the vocals sitting prominently in the mix, There are no obvious synthesizers or orchestral elements, The guitar solo is melodic and technically proficient, utilizing bends and vibrato, The overall feel is one of urgency and determination
5:16

Atmospheric, melancholic post-rock at 70โ80 BPM with dynamic contrast, Reverb-heavy electric
guitars lead, layering gradually with deep resonant bass and distant brushed drums that grow
in weight without becoming aggressive, Sparse analog synth textures inspired by 80s new wave
(Roland Juno, Yamaha DX7, Oberheim) appear subtly as background pads and harmonic haze, Vocals are male, low-register, exhausted, and confessional, placed intimately in the mix, The song moves through several quiet-to-dense waves rather than a single climax, then sheds
layers and fades very slowly, Mood is brooding, reflective, and restrained
3:25

Born Ethereal - Gilgamesh (f)
v4.5-all
The voice: A female vocal performance featuring a striking contrast between verses and choruses: starting with sweet, mellow, and breathy whispers that feel both ethereal and ominous; then transitioning into a powerful, soaring classical soprano with dramatic operatic flourishes and a rich vibrato for the climax, A seamless blend of haunting, calm intimacy and epic, neoclassical intensity, the music: A symphonic gothic metal composition with strong theatrical and operatic elements, featuring prominent female classical soprano vocals that soar dramatically, The overall aesthetic is dark, grandiose, and ritualistic, infused with intricate steampunk textures: imagine elaborate clockwork mechanisms, brass gears, and steam-powered industrial sounds subtly integrated into the heavy, melodic guitar riffs, powerful orchestral arrangements, and pounding drums, The atmosphere is a unique blend of Victorian-era industrialism, arcane mysticism, and epic metal power, add disonant cellos
