" The music really gives you that feeling of being at battle at sea with a choppy, edgy feel to it, but it’s the song’s mid-section where it really takes off with a cool tempo change. Guitarists Scott Lomas and Hardip Sagoo churn out driving melodic riffs over the solid foundation of rhythm section of Ralph Comes (bass) and James Hawes (drums). This is where Porter really comes into his own, his soaring, powerful voice is full of emotion as he bellows out his message"
