Dark folk metal with a slow relentless pulse, stomping toms and bowed low strings; verse rides tense and story-driven, pre-chorus narrows to bare drum and breathy chant, chorus hits with gang shouts and doubled male vocals, bridge turns half-time with whispery harmonies and a rising bone flute. Cold, wide, gritty mix with raven-like echoes, reversed swells into the chorus, and sharp metallic accents on transitions.
