True to their name, the Middle-Earth warlords produced a saga that tells the tales of the War of the Ring: Elves, Orcs, Hobbits and Dwarves evolving in the fabled lands of Gondor, Rohan and Mordor. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan, you shouldn't be lost in the names. But let'S pa attention to the music, shall we?

The second Battlelore album I see just as the second part of Khazad-Dûm - almost as good as the first one, but still... "almost".
Also, it's nice that Tommi Havo contributed some of the rough vocals for this album again. His growls sound deeper and more guttaral than the vocals of Patrik Mennander.
Favourites: Sons Of Riddermark, The Mark Of The Bear, The War Of Wrath.
