Dark horror rock with mid-tempo driving drums, low-tuned guitars, and a grim stomping groove; verse rides tense and sparse with bass, toms, and breathy close-mic male vocals, pre-chorus tightens with rising gang whispers and distorted snare rolls, chorus hits with shouted doubles and a short chantable hook. Use reversed swells before each chorus, a metallic scrape into the bridge, and a final drop with extra octave guitars. Mix is dark, punchy, and claustrophobic.
