Ah, I was just going to say Nightwish! (definitely my favourite band at the moment). Apart from the obviously influenced Elvenpath (And Kinslaying may well relate to
the kinslaying) there are LOTR references in Wishmaster, Crownless, End of all hope. And for me the song Away also relates to LOTR and fantasy in general, one only has to listen to the lyrics to understand why. And what makes it even cooler is that the majority of the members name Tolkien as their favourite author...as if that wasn't obvious enough.
- OT: vanwalossien, have loads of fun at the concert, I take it you're from Norway...lucky you!
I like Blind Guardian as well, from what little I've heard, and I agree it's got Middle Earth written all over it. I also get the impression that
Rhapsody are also a bit Tolkien-influenced - can anyone relate to this?
I can't believe there's a band called Gandalf...lol, I find it funny somehow...
