saurononmain:

Unappreciated Tolkien inspired band: Battlelore

• Amazing vocals (and a female singer!!)
• The perfect mixt of power metal and dark metal with a tad of melodic and folk
• Norse (Finnish) so obviously amazing at metal
• Literally their entire discography is lotr/silm inspired
• If you liked Nightfall in Middle Earth by Blind Guardian you’re gonna love them

Where the Shadows Lie

Sword’s Song (personal favourite)

Third Age of The Sun

Evernight (other personal favourite, I couldn’t find the full album but here’s the first song)

The Last Alliance

Doombound
