Re: Lothlorien by Enya

YES!!! It's always nice, as a metalhead, to come into non-metal boards and see people praising one of my favorite bands.<img src=smile.gif ALT=""> Here's a few choice Tolkien related Blind Guardian songs:

MIRROR MIRROR!!! (their best!)
The Curse of Feanor
Into the Storm
[insert: the rest of Nightfall...<img src=smile.gif ALT=""> ]
The Bard's Song: The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
By the Gates of Moria
Gandalf's Rebirth
Plus there's references in lots of their other songs. Damn, I love this band!
Oh!
On their next album they are doind a ~13 minute song (their longest yet!) in tribute to Lord of the Rings. Their song &quot;Lord of the Rings&quot; from Tales from the Twilight World just wasn't enough!<img src=biggrin.gif ALT="">

Anyway, here's some good metal bands that are all too obviously named after various Tolkienisms<img src=smile.gif ALT=""> :
Lothlorien
Isengard
Cirith Ungol
Gandalf
Cirith Gorgor
Morgoth
there must be more...

also Orange Goblin spring to mind with the song &quot;Lothlorien&quot; from their Freguencies from Planet Ten record, although that's more &quot;stoner rock&quot; as opposed to metal.<img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

For when the swine repent their sins I shall be there, ready to pass my almighty judgement upon their accursed souls. I am the reaper divine, I eat the hearts of the damned! Beware, ye of little faith in my majesty, for I shall rule this pitiful world. You are mine, bow down.</p>
