Wind Rose's debut album continues the musical tradition of the symphonic and neoclassical styles of Italian power metal bands Rhapsody of Fire, Kaledon, and Thy Majestie, presenting power metal elements of fast riffing, heavy guitars, haunting atmospheres, vocal harmonies, and fantasy lyrics but with a twist of progressive elements to deliver an exciting new experience. The album presents long and monumental pieces such as the almost ten minute long 'Majesty', changes from flowing softness to plodding heaviness in 'The Fourth Vanguard' and 'Close to the End', and knee-jerking syncopated rhythms in 'Endless Prophecy' and 'Led by Light'.
