Epic neofolk, martial industrial, slow marching tempo, 75 BPM, acoustic guitar with overdrive, deep cello drone, heavy bass guitar solo with fuzz and reverb, sparse war drums, snare rolls. Deep male baritone solo in verses, powerful male choir in choruses, whispered male vocals in bridge. Ethereal female "Ah" pads only as distant background texture in chorus, never lead. Dark melancholic atmosphere, heroic sorrow, cinematic, no pop elements.
