Symphonic metal with a slow, heavy march pulse and doom-laden double-kick surges; verse rides chugging riffs and haunted cello, pre-chorus opens to tom rolls and rising choir stacks, chorus hits with blazing lead guitar and male gang chants. Vocal is deep and commanding, doubled in lows, with whispered shadows and shouted lifts. Use reversed cymbal swells, brass hits, and a final bell toll.
