metal, Symphonic Scandinavian death metal: tremolo dual guitars in stacked fifths, blast beats that shift into half-time stomps, choirs and strings swelling under guttural male vocals, Verses are tight and riff-driven; chorus widens with soaring harmonized leads, layered screams, and an anthemic top-line, Bridge drops to choral/strings tension, then slams back with the most epic riff and gang vocals, harmony, death metal

The track builds on stoic, minimalist riffs and a dense, militant groove led by pulsing bass, locking in with syncopated ritualistic drumming and metallic percussion, Guitars create relentless tension with stark, repetitive figures, Layered, ancestral chants and subtle occult textures spiral, intensifying the arcane and ritual feel as the production remains raw and sparse
