Music that Inspired the Pandemonium War
*Author's Note - If you read the chapter-by-chapter commentary for these books, one thing I've mentioned several times is that some scenes are scripted to particular songs. In most cases, if you were to show the scene as a movie, it would play out in time with the song (or near about), and in almost every case, the scene appeared in my head almost exactly as its written just by having listened to the song a few dozen times (for ongoing inspiration and to work out the kinks). The lyrics are rarely important to this process, it's just the feel of the song and the imagery it evokes. I've included the few songs/scenes that have been written so far, as well as several more that will tease some major moments that are coming up in future books. Some are coming soon, others are a ways away; two or three are for the final book (#10 as currently planned), so they'll remain teasers as quite a while, but MAN, I wish I was there already. They're going to be awesome.
You'll also notice a general theme in the artists - namely, the prevalence of Nightwish. They're essentially the unofficial soundtrack for the Pandemonium War, and their music features heavily in my writing playlist for this series.
