Epic folk metal with a driving mid-tempo gallop, heavy toms and chugging low guitars; verse rides tense and spacious with frame-drum hits and low chant bass, pre-chorus strips to voice, hand drums, and rising strings, chorus opens wide with stacked male harmonies and fierce gang shouts. Use dark horn swells, sand-rush risers, and a thunder hit into each hook. Big cinematic, gritty, and regal mix with close-mic lead vocals and wide choruses.
