“Triumph of the Oak” is the last song of the eight-track list album. The song is a contender for all metal fans, as the single starts off eerie, just before fans are hit with the sounds of an electric guitar while the bass is higher. Csihar and The Lord represent celebrate all that is metal with the track for a full 5-minute showdown, just before the track ends. You can listen to the track here
