From Mozart to Metallica
To those familiar withThe Symbiot-Seriesyou will know music features throughout.From Mozart to Metallica.Musical pieces and performers include Creeping Death, Scheonberg, Megadeth, Mozart, Wagner's opera,Das Rheingold, Beethoven, and Chopin.Other eldritch compositions are also featured in this series of novels, but – unfortunately (or maybe,fortunately) - are works of fiction, includingThe Music of Erich Zannas well asThe Music of the Spheres.For the music aficionados out there, these various pieces of music can be listened to at a new page on my website entitledThe Audient Void.
