Allusions to the work have often been made within aspects of popular culture, notably in the counterculture of the 1960s. The Norwegian experimental band Ulver released an album that was a musical setting of Blake's book, titled "Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". The American black metal band Judas Iscariot extensively quotes parts of "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" in their song "Portions of Eternity Too Great for the Eye of Man" (whose title itself was taken from a quote from Blake's work). The American power metal band Virgin Steele released two albums based on Blake's work, 1995's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part I" and 1996's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part II". "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" is also seen printed out and displayed in one of the scenes of David Cronenberg's 1975 film "Shivers".
