One can scarcely go wrong with a 1/2/3/4 minor melodic idea at the start (it's one of those patterns I love, as you will see in higher ranked music). It has a very similar feel to Despair in Elferia, thats for sure, and actually, it has a similar focus on those same four notes of the scale! Not the same composer, but this apparently influenced the other. It starts off militaristic orchestral before moving on to edm, but the style in the intro still gets many opportunities to really make this track shine. I like the sword sheathe sounds! I actually like the choice of sounds for the edm percussion; its much more to my liking than typical! Very dramatic. Theres a lot of subtleties that really makes this ear candy. I love the touch of french horns in certain parts, especially. 0:44 finally introduces the main idea on a light piano the harps and the strings really help it out. 1:19s stuff is SICK! I love rapid 16th passages like these. Fake piano cluster chords are great there (another similarity to Elferia), with a nice shift to a new key. And then suddenly everything drops out at 1:39 and then a light beat gets added a few seconds later and then a horn rip follows (I LOVE all that). Then we get back to the energized stuff again! 2:18 the edm stuff drops out and were back to a pure orchestral sound love the shift. Its softer, but the intensity is as fierce as ever, especially with those low horns. 2:37 is like the intro, but the cool thing here is that as it prepares to recap the theme, you get some of those cool rhythmic patterns from before, but before the theme comes in a few measures get added with an orchestral Fp complete with a sword sheathe. LOVE IT! At 4:19 as it climaxes the time signature is pretty thrown out the window ...fun rhythmic figures there. Then a grand pause and it winds down with some electronic flourishes reverberating (not really, but it has a similar effect). Overall, pretty much everything in this track is done very tastefully!
