"While the songs are dramatically different, the atmospheric synth of this song reminds of the intro of this Imogen Heap classic."
"An emotional masterpiece from a Legendary group (R.I.P. Peter Steele). If this doesn't inspire you, nothing will. "
"A niche producer that pretty much ended trap music with this absolute crusher. This was genre-defining at the time, and the artist himself does not produce this type of music besides this solitary track. Game over, GRAVEDGR won. "
"Sometimes, you need to dig deep into the Old Magicks for inspiration. The melody, motif, and sheer spine-tingling instrumentation of this piece tells the gruesome tale of a classic horror movie through song. "
"A Legendary classic heavy metal song by the original Godfathers of the genre. Sabbath can be cited as an influence for all heavy music."
