Hey, thanks a lot for your comment! :)
Really glad you liked the smithy sounds and the vocals!
I wasn’t really going for a specific Siegfried or Mime theme, but more the tension between them during the forging scene itself, focusing on the whole process of forging the sword.
It kind of starts with Mime’s frustration and manipulative side, then builds into the conflict between them, and finally shifts to Siegfried taking over and forging the sword himself.
I was loosely inspired by the forging scene in Siegfried from Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner, mainly for the dramatic situation and atmosphere.
The darker, gloomy tone is definitely intentional, so I’m really happy that came through!
