Swampy delta blues fused with Nordic pagan stomp, Slide steel guitar snarling through a minor pentatonic riff, floor-tom-heavy war drums, and deep throat-sung drones, Raspy female vocals sit upfront and gritty; verses stay low and intimate, chorus opens slow and stacked harmonies, Occasional fiddle and droning overtone flutes add cold forest atmosphere while the rhythm grinds like a long march, female vocals, delta blues, throat singing, warm, blues
