Gothic horror rock, close male baritone with dark theatrical Russian delivery and crooning legato phrasing; sparse church-organ opening, downtuned distorted guitars, heavy toms, deliberate snare, ominous low bass, dissonant string swells, soft harmony pads beneath layered choral chorus; broad cinematic reverb, raw-edged band mix; slow stalking 6/8, crushing guitar choruses, tense half-time bridge, commanding final refrain.
