Electronic rock opera with slow marching pulse and heavy toms; verse drives on sparse synth bass, muted guitar, and low male baritone; pre-chorus opens with string swells and rising choir pads; chorus hits with stacked gang vocals, distorted leads, and a huge anthemic lift. Add reverse cymbal sweeps, distant bell tolls, and tape-reel crackle between sections. Dark, wide, cinematic mix with a grave, chesty vocal front and center.
