Battlelore | Where the Shadows Lie (2002)

[confluence-and-drift]

I love how they used imagery from the books in their lyrics ^^. "The silver light cast away From the towers and the walls The pale white horror took a place Spreading madness and decay

The Eight arrived for their King Great Shadows walked again The watch of Men failed in shame As the city burned in flames

Minas Morgul's dark sorcery Corpse-light in the dead black sky Tower rising from the tombs of fallen kings And their Gods

Poison fumes fill the air Dying ground, no trees or streams Day and night full of light Light that illuminated nothing at all

Once proud and great mortal men Servants in Shadows embrace Ithil-stone, device of lies Eternal eclipse of the moon"

That was all from track 1 of one of my favourite albums of last year.

Gollum's Cry

Weakest of moments are these The choking hold of insanity Loses it’s grip and cuts me so deep With the knife of clear memories Of that innocent past which didn’t last Oh, no! No! The precious of mine For you I would die My love, my life, my everything For you I cry But not anymore The things will get better I will come to you And soon we’ll be together Forever…

“Pinnan alla Varjoissa Rhûnin Pohjalla hiekassa Tumman veden huomassa Lepää voima sankaruuden Valossa Kajossa uuden aamun Usva väistyy Häipyy mailleen Piiloihinsa Miekka nousee syvyydestä On kolmas aika auringon”

BATTLELORE Present 'True Dragons' Lyric Video

[ photo: Toni Salminen ] Following their much-acclaimed, latest studio album, The Return Of The Shadow (released June 2022 via Napalm Records), Finnish fantasy metal masters BATTLELORE strike back with the release of a new lyric video for the song “True Dragons”! The Return Of The Shadow marked the band’s first offering in more than ten long years, and immediately showcased the incredible…

Aamu... Tai oikeastaan päivä alkoi hyvin, kun kuuntelin Battleloren vuoden 2003 albumin "Sword's Song" samalla, kun join aamukahvia. Sen jälkeen päätin käydä ensimmäistä kertaa pitkään aikaan uimassa, ja 150m uituani totesin, että saa riittää koska kunto loppu kesken.😂

Mut tulipahan testattua älykelloa vihdoinkin uintitarkoituksessakin. Vielä kun sais hommattua uimalasit voimakkuuksilla, niin uimisesta vois nauttiakin enemmän, kun ei alkais päätä särkee.

Ens viikol uusiks, et jos tästä tulis vaik uus harrastus itelle, ku uimahalli tos vieressä.

The Silmarillion ultimate playlist

It’s the time of Spotify wrap-ups and whatnot and this gave me an idea: let’s make a giant, collaborative playlist for the Silmarillion!

Drop the songs that make you think of a specific character, your OCs, relationship, event, place, or just gives you major Silm Vibes in the reblogs and tags. Put links to them, write essays about these songs if you want, or just reblog to share further, but the goal is to have fun and discover as many songs as possible.

You can share any song or musical piece you want, no matter the genre or language, the only rule is that it can’t be a song by Tolkien nor a track from the LotR movies or musical, nor the Hobbit or any musical adaptation of Tolkien’s works (I see you Finrod Rock Opera. I will listen to you one day).

Anyways, here are my songs, and the link to the collaborative playlist:

Eärendil, Starwing: Sailboat of Mine - Eurielle & Mario Grigorov

Eöl, Nan Elmoth: Hotel California - Eagles

Aredhel: Touch the Sky - Brave; I want to Break Free - Queen;

Nerdanel, Anairë and Eärwen: Friends will be Friends - Queen

Findis: Ave Maria - Franz Schubert (specifically sung by Maria Callas)

Morgoth: Back on the Throne - Firewind

Lúthien: Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross; Queen of King - Alessandra

Maglor’s Gap: I wanna be in the Cavalry - Colm R. McGuinness (both the original and the reprise)

Maglor: Requiem, Lacrimosa - W.A. Mozart

Fingon/Maedhros: Princes of the Universe - Queen

Túrin Turambar: Live and Die by the Sword - Firewind

Fëanor (from the moment he swears the Oath to his death, but specifically Alqualondë and Losgar): Wars of Age - Firewind

Amarië: I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

Eluréd and Elurín: Erlkönig - Franz Schubert; Come Little Children - Hocus Pocus (cover by Erutan)

Finwë: Sin - Lia Marie Johnson

Helcaraxë: Rise from the Ashes - Firewind

Nirnaeth Arnoediad: Bloodstained Ground - Eluvetie

Sons of Fëanor: Threefold Death - Eluvetie

Edain/ end of the War of Wrath vibes: Prologue - Eluvetie

Fingolfin: Last of the Lords - Battlelore

Tuor/Idril: Song of the Sea - Nolwen Leroy

Maglor, Elrond and Elros: The Magic Lullaby - Eurielle

Thingol/Melian: Cat People (Putting out Fire) - David Bowie

Nolofinwëans: Hey Brother - Avicii

Celegorm and Curufin in Nargothrond: (Do)minion - Eluvetie

As you can see, this playlist is completely random, jumping from lullaby to death metal to 80’s pop without rhyme nor reason. It’s just a giant melting pot of Vibes

And now, it’s your turn to play!
