Post-punk, progressive rock, hard-rock Tempo_Music 150 BPM / Tempo_Sound 75 BPM, steady mid-tempo pulse, Meter: 4/4, Harmonic progression (core logic): Verses: i – VII – VI – VII (modal minor, descending tension) Pre-Chorus (where applicable): iv – VI – i Chorus: i – v – VI – III (lift without major resolution) Bridge: i – iv – bII – i (dark modal tension, destabilization) Outro: i – VI – i (collapse, unresolved) Arrangement concept: Minimal, cold intro with sparse harmonic information, Verses are bass-led, harmony unfolds slowly with sustained tones and delayed guitar entries, Choruses tighten rhythmically, harmony becomes denser but remains minor-centered, Bridge strips rhythm, expands harmonic tension and spatial depth, Outro dissolves into space, no cathartic resolution, Dynamic arc: Low → compressed tension → controlled peak → emotional fatigue, Stylistic exclusions (for parsing): no pop brightness, no EDM, no trap, no happy major cadences, no virtuoso solos, no glossy production
