Freddie’s Inferno by Freddie Dredd
“The title of the album, Freddie’s Inferno, is a reference to Dante’s Inferno, a poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 1300s which describes the journey through hell. The tracklist also mirrors the poem as each track is named after a circle of hell.” —Genius
Freddie Dredd’s songs in this album share the same names as many of the sins present in Dante’s Inferno.
“Comin’ from the underworld
My body holds a demon Heard you screamin’ for a break I don’t think anyone could take I’m a beast, I’m a foe, I’m the one you saw before Don’t be greedy with your life” –Freddie Dredd, “Greed”Contributed by Nova Anastasia, Florida State University ’27
Gluttony NFT: Kozachok’s Inferno
“What is going on here? In the third circle of Kozachok’s Inferno, we find the realm of Gluttony. After a life of over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, the souls who land in this circle of hell, are now symbolically and literally becoming a never ending supply of food for the smaller creatures.
[. . .]
“‘Kozachok’s Inferno’ is a personal version, a customized representation of the 9 circles of hell, influenced by Dante’s Inferno, the first part of Dante’s Divine Comedy, which is a long Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is not a direct reproduction of Dante’s Inferno, I do not follow the accuracy of those layers or circles of hell, except the main theme (eg circle of Lust, of Gluttony, of Greed etc), but the reasons and punishments of each circle of hell will be different in my version.” [. . .] –@kozachok, SuperRare, 2019
Tony’s Kansas City Blog, “Guy Fieri Reveals 3rd Circle Of Hell Replica In Kansas City Power & Light Restaurant” (January 24, 2019)
“This isn’t news but every broadcaster in KCMO mentioned it anyway, take a look at this new joint wherein locals can order gourmet fake tacos.
“And then there’s this passage that might or might not be a review: ‘Upon reaching the Third Circle of Hell, Dante and Virgil find souls of gluttons who are overlooked by a worm-monster Cerberus. Sinners in this circle of Hell are punished by being forced to lie in a vile slush that is produced by never-ending icy rain.'” —Tony’s Kansas City, January 24, 2019 (retrieved November 27, 2021)
