Shyriiwook City (song)

"Shyriiwook City" was the title track and second single off Exlis Prime's album Shyriiwook City.

The beat was uptempo and designed for large arena stages. Instruments had backups for multi-texturing of sounds and the drums were sized up. A solo was incorporated into the song, something largely devoid in most of Exlis's previous material. The song would be accompanied on stage by the use of pyrotechnics. During the middle of the song, the band would bring out a Wookiee to sing the third verse. Fans largely considered "Shyriiwook City" EP's best live performance.
