In modern folklore the "hour of the wolf" occurs just before sunrise, at a time when you are most likely to meet any monsters lurking in the night. The idea of imminent danger and sprinting for your life from an unseen horror was quite inspiring, and terrifying, when writing this work. The music is filled with intensity and energy, with a subdued middle section as the only respite from the constant beating and pulsing throughout the piece, until it ends with a final, frantic bang. Make sure you lock your doors and windows tonight because the hour of the wolf is fast approaching!
