Nordic folk, driving stomping battle pulse; bold rough-edged male lead in a warm mid-range, answered by distant voices and layered low male choir in a chantable chorus; close vocal presence, earthy windswept texture, broad natural room ambience; frame drums and deep ceremonial toms, bowed tagelharpa drones, hammered lyre, raw horn calls. Sparse drone opening builds to full refrain, strips back for a stark bridge.
