Metal with mid-tempo double-kick drive, palm-muted verse riff, soaring pre-chorus lift, and a huge half-time chorus; verse stays tight and jagged, pre-chorus opens with tom rolls and shouted harmonies, chorus slams with gang vocals and a sustained lead guitar answer. Male vocals with raw chesty verses, layered screams on the hook, and a clean-to-scream transition in the bridge; add reversed cymbal swells, bass drops, and a final octave lead for the last chorus. Mix is dark, wide, and crushing with sharp drums and thick guitars., metal, sad
