Movement Iii: Permian, 'The Great Dying'

By ORGANize · Progressive Metal · From the album The Big Five

Then fire came, land torn open by seas of lava... nearly ninety percent of life vanished."

Welcome to the ultimate climax of the conceptual prog-rock epic, 'The Great Dying' (Movement III) from the project 'The Big 5'. This chapter explores the Permian-Triassic extinction event—Earth's most devastating catastrophe where nearly all life perished in fire, poison, and darkness.

Driven by a roaring, furnace-like Hammond B3 organ, massive brass sections, and a deep, collapsing choir, this track embodies the absolute darkest depths of our planet's history in the true spirit of 1970s symphonic art-rock and heavy prog.
