Out of silence, a lone electric guitar fades up, one held tone taking its time.

The riff settles into its stride — rounded, overdriven, already walking.

Bass and drums land together, and suddenly the riff has a floor under it.

The voice arrives low and grainy, sitting right down inside the riff.

The voice climbs a register and pushes, and the whole mix opens with it.

The voice drops back into its low grain, guitars answering in the gaps.

Back on the lift, the voice holding the high line while the guitars spread wide.

The guitar steps out front now, loose shouts answering as it goes.

The band pulls way back — the voice suddenly close, half-spoken, just a few chords behind it.

Then all of it comes back at full pressure, the voice on top, everything driving underneath.

The guitar takes the lead for a long stretch now, unspooling one line after another over the drive.

A few loose shouts still ride over the solo; past here, the guitar has it alone.

Each pass climbs a little higher and digs in a little harder.

The solo tops out in its highest register, the band at full burn underneath it.

A last chord rings out and gives way to feedback, humming on alone.
