Songs by Dimmu Borgir (pictured above), Burzum, Morbid Angel and Judas Priest will be featured in the soundtrack for "Severed Ways," an upcoming film about Vikings in the New World that's scheduled to make the rounds at next year's film festivals.
Severed Ways" was written and directed by metal fan Tony Stone, and a trailer for the movie features shots of glistening oceans, flying birds, waving wheat fields, grazing farm animals, burning churches, cascading waterfalls and fleeing Vikings overtop a soundtrack of a man chopping wood and breathing heavily (insert dirty joke here).
The movie, produced by Heathen Films, takes place in 11th Century in North America, where Vikings, Indians and Irish monks are clashing for personal glory and religious dominance. And the plot takes flight after an expedition of Norsemen is attacked by Indians, and two remaining Vikings must struggle through vast forests and hazardous circumstances in an effort to survive. One relies of spirituality to make it through while the other draws from primal instinct and an iPod filled with blistering metal -- nahhh, we made that last part up.
