Moments Worth Listening For

The agonizingly slow transition into the main riff of Gateways of Bereavement where the drums feel like a funeral march.

The high-pitched, desperate shrieks during the climax of Tomb of Insomnia that sound like a soul physically breaking.

The sudden, eerie keyboard melody that pierces through the distorted wall of sound in Velvet Thorns.
