"Wolf" brings this low, predatory rumble that sits under your skin and stays there. "Escape From a Dream" has a frantic quality, like the music itself is trying to get out. Then "New Dawn" and "End of the Night" offer these brief, fragile moments of relief before the forest swallows everything again.
Mostly ambient, mostly terrifying, entirely effective. Not background music. This demands darkness and headphones. If you want a soundtrack that makes a well-lit room feel unsafe, put this on.
