Metal built around deliberate silence: drop-tuned guitars alternate tight palm-muted chugs with abrupt full-band stops, letting each riff land with force. Double-kick drums and sharp snare accents surge back in after the gaps; distorted bass reinforces the low end. Use minor-key tension, dissonant harmonics, and a restrained, aggressive vocal delivery, with sparse reverb tails preserving space between hits. Cello, trumpet.
