In this article I will analyse how a widespread metaphor of Renaissance and Baroque literature, the comparison between the stages of life and the seasons of the year, is updated via a contemporary perspective and transformed through an intertextual relation with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra in Vivaldi Metal Project’s The Four Seasons. I highlight the strong presence of Baroque aesthetics in symphonic metal and I aim to propose, from a literary perspective, a model for the analysis of the presence and transformation of Baroque elements in this subgenre.
