Sovereign and Spellborn

Dark ritual storm anthem in D minor around 100 BPM with aggressive stomp percussion, Deep war drums and heavy floor tom hits should land hard and dry, like boots striking earth, Rhythm must feel confrontational and physical, not distant or ambient, Lead vocal is a grounded female alto with restrained but dangerous intensity, chest-led and unyielding, No sweetness or theatrical belting, Minimal reverb — close, raw, and face-to-face, Layered female vocals in the chorus should sound like a united front behind the lead, not ghostly, Subtle distorted guitar adds low-end grit and tension, not riffs, No glossy strings, no cinematic swells, no symphonic metal, no pop polish
