States Tom O'Dell: "Following the journey of Aragorn and his quest to earn Arwen's hand in marriage, this record sees a wider incorporation of melodeath and folk metal influences into my particular brand of atmospheric metal to create a truly unique musical journey.
"This album wouldn't have been possible without some very talented friends: Joe Bollettiero (drums, all tracks) and Jeremy Reinhold (guitar solo, track 3) of Beorn's Hall; Kristoffer Graemesen (tin whistle, track 5); and a fantastic master by longtime collaborator Mike Lamb (Light Field Reverie, Sojourner). Finally, as always, Jordan Grimmer Art surpassed all expectations with his magnificent cover artwork."
