Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the haunting intro of In Sacred Flames into the crushing, rhythmic gallop of Behold the Wicked Child.

The layered, baritone vocal harmonies on I Walk Alone that create a sense of isolated, stoic resolve.

The seven-minute climax of Come What May where the album's melodic themes finally resolve into a grand, cinematic finale.
