Shore seems to treats Stone Giants that are attacking each other in the deafening storm to set of musical ideas that work as a musical mirror to these personifications of Nature’s powers and pits the brass section against the strings, each hurtling rhythmic 3- and 2-note patterns against each other all the while percussion section pounds forceful driving rhythms underneath, the simple but powerful chord progressions signifying weight, colossal size, intense danger and the sheer might of Nature.
