The sentry
A frenetic chase
A blend of metallic industrial percussion, jagged beats, a hefty dose of pulse-width modulation and ethnic instruments.
The narrative of this track shouldn't be unknown to those familiar with the psychological horror that is implied by Geoff Crammonds "the Sentinel".
Basically the feeling of inescapable dread as a practically invincible entity is looking for you.
The track opens with an ominous drone, evoking the tension of someone desperately trying to remain unseen. This suspense is interrupted by a piercing "air raid siren", accelerating the pace as the protagonist is discovered in the shadows.
The middle section unfolds the inevitable clash, eventually returning to a brighter reflection of the initial conflict theme...
...but was the outcome truly as positive as it seems?
