Can't wait!

One of the few folk related bands that I can stand. hope they can pull this one out well like "The Last Alliance"

Hmm. "...we have turned back to the old school style of songs with grinding drums and fast guitars!". I like that, sounds promising.

Hope this mean they will make another masterpiece like THird age...

Great news ,,/

Again! fucking hell, prolific or what!

Yeah!!!

Yeah looking for a masterpiece from them this time

Turin is one of my fav Tolkien characters. Very tragic indeed... the part when he finds out (damn dragon!) that his wife is actually his long lost sister is terrific! She jumps off a cliff pregnant and he also comitts suicide with his sword.

Can't wait for this album! Battelore

Edit: hope there's songs like Third Immortal and The Grey Wizard, my fav songs from this awesome band!

This band proves that some people are easily satisfied as long as something is Tolkien-related, no matter how bad it sucks.
The very definition of boring.
Awful band that relies only on trends to sell.
By the way, the same could be said about pretty much all folk metal bands. It's a trend, and a very lame one. Folk metal is basically no more than mediocre Powermetal with crappy growls.

I agree, dude. I love folk inspired music, which is ironic in regards to this band. They are about as inspiring as a textbook on the color grey.

I'm not a fan of folk metal but I could name dozens of folk metal bands I consider much better than Battlelore.

I've really enjoyed some older Battlelore releases, in particular Sword's Song, so if that's the sound they are going back to, great news. I'll wait and see on it though. In regards to comments that Battlelore fans are just more in the line of suckers for folk or Tolkien inspired music, that's never applied to me. I have miminal interest in anything Tolkien related and have barely even bothered to read any of his books

The main reason I like the band is/was their symphonic and atmospheric sides, with the folk side a distant fourth, if I include Kaisa's vocals as well. The band's last disc was uninteresting to me after a few spins, but we'll see how this refreshed direction goes in the new music

Technically speaking, there are better folk bands. What i like about Battlelore is not the Tolkien related theme, is the honesty and passion these guys (and girls) deliver when it comes to perform music about their favourite subject. Plus, i don't consider Battlelore to be a folk metal band....
