Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic lead synth melody of Black Winter Day that sounds like a frozen folk dance.
The transition in Into Hiding where the guttural vocals give way to soaring, clean vocal harmonies.
The psychedelic Moog solo in Magic and Mayhem that breaks the tension of the heavy riffs.
