about

“Fire in the Sky” references the wildfires that have continued to rage year after year in the northwest region of North America, altering weather patterns across the continent and emitting tons of pollutants into the atmosphere. The form of that movement is based on the standard first-movement structure of a Classical concerto, with alternating ritornello sections and solo features, but it breaks many rules of key area progressions in order for it to fit more comfortably into the form of metal songs, songs which do not often modulate. Many of the 7-string, drop-tuned guitar riffs and styles of playing (heavy, chugging power chords and sparkly clean tones) are styled after modern progressive metal blended with hardcore, imitating bands like Periphery and Knocked Loose. The tuba solo part in this movement is heavily inspired by John Williams’s famous concerto for tuba.
