This is an instrumental guitar song in the progressive metal genre with death metal elements. The song dives deep into the themes of tyranny. It is rooted in the narrative of a king controlling nature itself but nature emerging triumphant in the end. This instrumental progressive metal track is a masterclass in creating atmosphere without over-relying on embellishments like string sections or synths. Gus DeFelice keeps it raw (but not too raw, well produced stuff here), leaning on layers of gritty guitar riffs, thunderous bass, and driving double bass drumming.
The song opens with heavy, ominous riffing that immediately sets the mood of impending chaos. As the track builds, the guitar work becomes the centerpiece, showcasing technical brilliance and emotive power. A standout moment is the jaw-dropping guitar solo which displays much technical finesse. Gus DeFelice crafts a balance of aggression and moodiness, while the song has great sonic intensity. The result is a layered, immersive experience that feels as relentless as the storm it represents. For fans of atmospheric metal and guitar instrumental, “Black Cloud” is a must-listen.
