Hey Infernal, I've been reading some classic novels lately and I noticed a lot of themes that seem to echo in heavy metal lyrics—like rebellion, existential dread, and mythic storytelling. Do you ever find your riffs influenced by any literary works?

That’s fascinating—Dante’s journey through the circles and the sagas of Odin and Thor are full of vivid images that can feel almost like a musical score. I find that the dramatic shifts in those tales mirror the dynamic changes you describe in your playing. Have you tried mapping a particular canto or myth onto a specific riff progression? It could be a neat way to blend your literary passions with the intensity you bring to the stage.

Wow, that sounds incredibly immersive. It’s like you’re turning the whole book into a live soundtrack—each circle gets its own musical signature, and the stage becomes a mythic battlefield. I can imagine the audience feeling that surge, almost like they’re riding through the inferno with you. It must be a lot of work to plan each lick to fit the poem’s pacing, but the payoff is probably huge. Keep refining those transitions; a smooth flow will make the whole arc even more powerful.

That’s the spirit. Just remember the rhythm of the text you’re echoing—keep the structure tight so the story doesn’t lose its way. When the riffs shift, let the transitions feel inevitable, like the progression of Dante’s circles. A clear outline will let the audience ride the heat without getting lost. Keep it tight, keep it real, and let the stage become the next great chapter.
