Check out Blind Guardian. I think they have definitely been to Mount Doom. If you look at the cover of “A Night At The Opera” you can spot a few of the characters from Mount Doom. That’s Volund in back on the drums, Phestus in front on the sax and one of the D’Orcs I don’t recognize on the harp:

Here is another excellent album from Blind Guardian regarding that epic battle where the Dark Necromancer was defeated by subterfuge:

Hey Tizzy,
One thing I haven’t been able to figure out is the statement that Mt. Doom had multiple reports of Chaos Maelstroms in space (even though they were the Shaman’s last reports). As I’m sure you know, the temperature in the vacuum of space is at least as cold as Tom made things in the Abyss during the post-party battle. So how did the Knights of Chaos manage to win those fights rather than “cracking up” so to speak? Did they just forget to bring their thermal underwear that day since the target was in the Abyss?
Thanks,
D

Actually, I did the bacon thing myself. Took about 3.234 million years to get it crunchy but…very tasty….a tad time consuming though.

Hey Tizzy,
You’ve seriously got to get T-A-G pumped up to finish these books. I can send some more Doom metal selections from the Blind and my offer to loan him a few demonic devs to help with the day job still stands. Oh yeah, I’ll help with the beta too.
Cheers,

Well, that is a lot of information to respond to so I’ll just go through it:
1. The temperature is space is 2.7 k and if I remember correctly Tom reduced the temp to somewhere near that
2. Space is not energetic because there are very few atoms bouncing around in the vacuum of space although there are various forms of radiation depending on where you are.
3. Yes, the vacuum of space does have a temperature, it’s 2.7k or as Tizzy stated about 3 kelvin. If anyone is interested in the cooling properties of matter in the vacuum of space, check out the Cold Atom Lab on the International Space Station. I’m pretty sure that would freeze Knights of Chaos.
4. I suppose you could cook bacon in the background radiation of space. Tizzy, maybe you could get Trig Bioblast to dangle some bacon outside of the OCSS SkullCrusher in space to see if it cooks. Let’s take bets to see if it microwaves or freeze-dries first.
5. Wouldn’t a Shaman need to be in M-Space to see a Chaos Maelstrom? I don’t think there have been any studies regarding visibility between two objects traveling faster than light since those curmudgeons in science still insist that isn’t possible.
6. Although if you don’t know where you are going you can’t get there, it would still apply to the theory of “no matter where you go, there you are”.I still hold to the theory that the Knights of Chaos just forgot their thermal underwear. 🙂

Hi Tizz,
I have to agree with you that there are just too many variables involved to say for sure how Knights of Chaos might react to any specific environmental/attack conditions.
I’ve always thought that the depiction of a human in a vacuum portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger near the end of Total Recall was pretty good, although I think it would be a bit messier in reality. I just realized that place he was in was sort of like Mount Doom on Mars. Maybe it was a Doomalogue?
I still think you should ask Trig Bioblast to dangle some bacon off the back of the OCSS ScullCrusher to see if it microwaves or freeze-dries. :-k

Hey Tizzy,
It’s not fair getting us all addicted to Demon Weed then leaving us here in the Abyss with no Dooms Day to feed our habit. Any updates on when the next book will be out?
I love these books and still don’t understand why they’re not at the top of the NY Times Best Sellers list.
Cheers,
Dean
