The band creates a music that feels ancient and up to date by combining traditional sounds, post-rock surroundings, and folk aesthetics. The song begins with reverbed\u00a0traditional melodies reminding\u00a0of Philip Glass, which create the structure for a magical, cinematic atmosphere. Soon, the female vocals appear with a folk-like innocence, characteristic of Wardruna, and an almost ritualistic power. Underneath, the guitar gradually grows, simmering in the background before exposing a post-rock rhythm that matches the song&#8217;s rooted vibe. &#8220;Eva&#8221; stands out by its cultural fusion\u2014the band&#8217;s Greek roots are obvious, with elements\u00a0of miroloi (Greek mourning ballads), with additional\u00a0Nordic folk influences. At 2:39, the music changes significantly, from a folk-driven state to a totally electric stoner rock outburst. The guitars take the lead, heavy and powerful, while traditional percussion returns, this time with more intensity, pushing the song forward with uncontrollable strength. &#8220;Eva&#8221; is a breathtaking song that combines folk, post-rock, and hard rock to create something extremely atmospheric and emotionally\u00a0strong.
