He has a spirit of fireplace and on this track, Luca (that’s the principal composer of this one) had the identical spirit. Large guitar riffs, chords, and progressions, but in addition choirs and melodies which can be one among Luca’s most attribute types. Roberto put the icing on the cake and made this track epic and unforgettable. We’re positive it would turn out to be an Ainur’s masterpiece within the subsequent years!
