Cathedral of Shadows

"Create a 3-minute Halloween-themed track that embodies a dark, ethereal energy — deeply atmospheric, haunting, and emotionally heavy. The track should feel terrifying yet beautiful, evoking goosebumps and chills as it plays. Mood: Dark, eerie, mystical, and melancholic — like wandering through an ancient haunted cathedral under a blood moon. Composition details: - Intro (0:00–0:45): Slow, ambient build-up with ghostly whispers, distant bells, and reverb-heavy vocal layers. Set a sense of dread and mystery. - Verse 1 (0:45–1:30): Gentle but eerie vocals, soft piano or harp, low drones, and subtle strings — slow tempo, deeply emotional and sad. - Verse 2 (1:30–2:15): Slight tempo increase with darker percussion, echoing chants, and more intensity — like something awakening. - Chorus (2:15–2:45): Powerful, choir-like backup vocals, ethereal harmonies, and a dramatic lift that feels both divine and terrifying. - Outro (2:45–3:00): Fade into a chilling echo — faint heartbeat or ghostly breath as the final note lingers. Instruments & Sound Design: Layered choirs, haunting pads, ethereal vocals, soft strings, distant drums, cathedral reverb, and cold ambient textures. Overall vibe: A haunting hymn of sorrow and spirits — where beauty and fear intertwine, inspired by mystical and atmospheric soundscapes."
