Okay, lessee, Hellfire Mantle tones down its majestic flares and settles to being one heck of a total "calm before the storm".

This is the perfect description that I can think of for this piece; not all tense and intimidating BGMs would stay in that level. Some will manage to go down to harmonious and soft remixes such as this one.

I gotta admit, the first few seconds sound like a theme when you enter a town :p
