Two more ways to listen
The same 42 chapters, scored two other ways. Frost runs the story heavier, in active rock and nu-metal. Reading strips the vocals back to an instrumental score you can read under without distraction.
Frost
Heavier. Active rock and nu-metal, for the chapters that hit hardest.
Reading
Instrumental and lyric-light, so the words on the page stay in front.
