THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW
"Do you want me to die?" snarls the Crusader en route to Jerusalem on a vessel of conquest. The setting: Valhalla Rising, the 2009 film by Nicolas Winding Refn. One Eye (Mads Mikkelsen) stares in silence as a blood red mist pours in over the purgatorial sea. It's Act III of the film and I got inspired by this strange tale over open waters to put together this playlist to accompany it, with tracks by Sea Witch, AHAB, Heavydeath, Lord Mantis, UR, and Usnea.

"And now begin the dolesome notes to grow
Audible unto me; now am I come
There where much lamentation strikes upon me.
"I came into a place mute of all light,
Which bellows as the sea does in a tempest,
If by opposing winds 't is combated.
"The infernal hurricane that never rests
Hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine;
Whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them."
(Dante - Inferno, Canto V)
