Russian heavy metal with clipped, rhythmic male baritone phrasing and clear diction, gang-vocal shouts on the hook; down-tuned distorted rhythm guitars, harmonized lead motifs, massive bass, pounding double-kick drums and building toms; martial mid-tempo gallop, tense narrative verses, mournful arena-sized chorus, solemn half-time bridge into a fierce final chorus; polished, raw-edged metal production.
