Track Description
I was aiming for creepy and uneasy, with off-beat chords and untuned instruments. It's the theme of the ruined Kingdom of Aviria, a place of horrible war and loss, so I tried to capture that. The bridge at 2:03 is my take on what Aviria's anthem could have sounded like long ago, when the Avirians were a proud people of a great kingdom. But the melody is muffled and rusted, just like their city, as if the old proud anthem is echoing from a distant past.
