Peter Béliath's fantasy novel 'Ved dette spyd skal jeg herske!' weaves heavy metal elements from Judas Priest, Rainbow, and others into its action-packed plot. Peter will talk about how the novel's universe reflects the symbolism and archetypes of the heavy metal genre: Motörhead's skull logo becomes a king's helmet of terror; Manowar's Dark Avenger forms the narrative skeleton for the heroine's quest for revenge. Travel into the borderland where fantasy and heavy metal merge into a resounding echo of myth.
