metal, Dark pop-metal ballad with male vocals: raspy, strained top line over detuned guitars and a cold, close-mic’d violin. First verse rides a slow, stomping beat with distant toms and gritty bass; chorus widens with distorted power chords, wide string harmonies, and echoing backing shouts. Bridge drops to almost a whisper and single violin before a final, explosive chorus with dragged-out, anguished ad-libs and a sudden dead-stop ending., pop
