Its a game. Was a decent game gameplay wise, but I loved the story. Follows a roadie, Eddie, with a magic belt buckle that he got from his father. When blood dripped into its mouth it summoned a demon of Metal and transported him back in time to a distant past where demons ruled and everything was based on the principals of Metal and Rock. Literally, everything, was based on the concepts of Blood, metal, fire and noise. The designers made every major feature of the game like something you would find on the cover of a heavy metal album.
ANYWAY, the chars romantic interest, Ophelia; ended up being rejected by the protagonist. Eddie thought she had betrayed the crusade to defeat the demon ruling the land. Rejected and heartbroken, she tried to commit suicide by drowning in the sea of black tears; but the sea changed her and reformed her as an embodiment of Death metal.

Her grief and suffering and feelings of betrayal twisted her into an antagonist, bent on revenge against her spurned lover; and allied herself with the demon bad guy to try and kill Eddie. She founded a new army called the Drowning Doom; all individuals who drank from the sea. Legend has it that those who drink from the Sea will be granted some of the Goddess Aetulia's power, but will also go mad with all-consuming grief and lose the will to live.
She had a nice little poem she read before her final battle that I like:
"Through the woods a girl came sadly. Something broken in her chest. She had dared to love another. Alas, no better than the rest.
Up my path the girl came gladly. Something opened up my doors. I longed to stop her bleeding heart. And so I called her to my shores.
Those you trust will hurt you badly. Something now I'm sure you see. So drown your tears in me, my dear. As you drown, my dear, in me."
The picture reminds me a bit of her. :p

It's about a son who fakes madness in order to prove his uncle killed his father.
Mind you, this being a Shakespearean tragedy, it doesn't work out so well. (Hamlet, his mother, his uncle, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's father and brother, and two childhood friends do not survive the play[0], neither does Denmark if the Norwegian subplot is included[1].)
[0] Not the worst for deaths by Shakespeare, That 'honour' goes to Titus Andronicus.
[1] Hamlet is over three hours long, the Norwegian subplot is the easiest thing to cut to shorten it a bit.
