Contrary to most of my music, there is no real idea or concept behind this piece. There is a backstory, however. About three years before writing this, I played an arrangement of Slayer's "Raining Blood" for classical and folk instruments with some of my students at their graduation party. After that, I wrote a metal song inspired by the same Slayer song. That metal song was shelved for three years, until one day I decided to transcribe it for a trio of classical instruments. After many other changes, the result is the current piece (but it is entirely possible, that I'll decide to make further changes one day).
This "backstory" raises questions about the genre of the piece, of course: Is it contemporary classical? Is it thrash metal? Or is it something else entirely?
