Интро

[Instrumental] [Time Signature: 4/4] [Tempo: 48–50 BPM, very slow, fixed, heavy — no double-time, no speed-up] [Intro sections are short] [Strictly follow the structure below — no improvisation] [Intro A — solo drums only] [solo drum kit, unaccompanied: ONLY a deep heavy kick drum and a snare drum. NO bass guitar, NO guitar, NO strings, NO horns, NO saxophone, NO keyboards, NO pads, NO melody instruments, NO cymbals of any kind. Pattern: one deep heavy kick, then two snare hits, then one deep heavy kick, then two snare hits — very slow, heavy, sparse and ominous, footsteps-in-the-dark feel, long silences between hits] [Intro B — drums lock with bass riff] [solo bass guitar enters at the very lowest register with a heavy slow riff, locked exactly with the drum pattern: deep heavy kick, two snare hits, deep heavy kick, two snare hits — still NO saxophone, NO horns, NO cymbals, NO strings, NO melodic instruments, NO melody — only drums and bass] [Intro C — bass shifts up] [bass guitar slides up to the upper register, audible finger movement on the strings, drums keep the same slow heavy pattern] [no other instruments] [Silence] [total silence — absolute pause, hold it, no instruments at all] [Intro D] [strings and angel choir enter softly — airy and high, heavy drums recede]
