It's a well constructed ballad with a great narrative.
The 1st percussion note seems to come in oddly or conflict with the vocal a bit.
I agree with Tangmo about lines in that verse. The read a little oddly and that's reinforced by the change in meter of the delivery.
Otherwise it's fabulous.
Thank you!
See my response above on those lyrics.
I think you`re referring to the Bodhran not the drum RT- there are two loops and when they hit the same beat together its quite a thump.
Hello, Robert
I cannot say which genre this song belongs to, but it is a cool song with the grand story.
I agree with rayc.
It's a well constructed ballad with a great narrative.
The 8-beat bass played throughout the song and the percussion produce something scaring mood. And Scott's guitar excites more scare.
And finally the bell of terror sounds.
It is a wonderful direction.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Shigeki,
I appreciate you highlighting the bass & percussion tracks - they help transform the song from folk to folkrock.
I`m glad you enjoyed this.
Robert
Robert, your gift for lyric writing and melody is a potent combination! This song has such a haunting feel to it and is just a excellent composition! You really put together a nice piece of music here and Scott’s contribution really is a big plus on this! Thanks, Torrey
Thank you very much,Torrey!
What a unique and creative tune

A really enticing title, and really interest subject matter for a song. Some of the lyrics here are really otherworldly, and your delivery of them on the tune is incredible too. Not sure what compelled you to write this one, but I'm glad you did! Crazy where inspiration can come from.
Great work and thanks for sharing!
Deryk,
I`ve been a history buff since high school and for some reason ( I hate the cold!) I`m particularly keen on polar exploration stories.
I thought that title would prove attention grabbing!
Thank you for all those positives.
Robert
