An instrumental melodic metal track dedicated to the memory of Chester Bennington, the late frontman of Linkin Park.
Parts of the track were written in the days following the news of his passing.

On the creation of the track:
I began working on it in June of 2017. I was experimenting with ideas, riffs, figuring out the arrangements. At one point I hit a writing block and went back to working on a different track (called Losing the Sense of Time, already released).
A few weeks later came that Thursday when I heard the news of Chester's passing. It was a massive shock and it hit me hard. It felt a lot like losing someone I've known for years, and in a way it was that. Linkin Park is the band that reignited my love for rock music back in 2003, I've been listening to them non stop back then and the early albums have remained a significant part of my life's soundtrack throughout the years.
Following the news of his passing and the massive amounts of Linkin Park I was listening to in those days I picked up my bass, went back to writing and the missing pieces of the track were filled. The music was emotional from the very start, but after that, it took an entirely different meaning.
