I'm not sure if anyone has heard of the band Blind Guardian or not. They are a metal band, and most of their music seems to revolve around fantasy. Anyway, they have a whole album dedicated to Lord of the Rings called Nightfall in Middle-Earth. But it isn't based off of the Lord of the Rings books, but the Silmarillion and other stories from Middle-Earth. The album doesn't just include songs but also snippets of scenes.
I was wondering if anyone else had heard of this album. For a Ringer rocker, it's totally epic to listen to!
They also have a song from another album, but it's just one song, that titled "Lord of the Rings" and is also a very wonderful song!

Yeah, I've heard of them... I think Arianna who was active here a few years ago was crazy fangirlish about them.. and she got me into at least one song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_tORtmKIjEThe Bard's Song. It isn't from the Nightfall album but it's really good (and probably quite mainstream-ish. ) I'm not really a metal girl but perhaps I should give them another listen.. anything particular you'd recommend?

I love the Bard's Song! Some of their songs are a bit too... metal for me. I like my light rock more. But if you like the Bard's Song, then you'd probably like Skalds and Shadows since it has the same feel as the Bard's Song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3_S1Q40HZo

Blind Guardian are a really good band. Mirror Mirror is epic ! Also Elvenpath by Nightwish is a great LotR related song

Is she still crazy fangirlish or has she calmed down at all? They also have The Bard's Song-The Hobbit, Majesty, and Harvest of Sorrow is about Turin.

wow, more Blind Guardian fans over here! Nightfall in Middle-earth was their first album I heard, and need I say, I fell in love! I have almost all their cds, many of them signed , and I have pictures with the band members as well!!! Blind Guardian rule! There are other metal bands regarding Tolkien, one for example, is Battlelore, they are from Finland. I wrote an entry about them in here http://tolkien-inspiration.blogspot.com ... earth.html. Hopefully I'll write something about the German bards one day!

I've never heard of them, but I'll be sure to check them out! Metal's not usually my thing, but the album sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion, Eruraina!

They are definitely my all-time favourite band, I've been a fan of them for about 8 years I think. They write songs on book series' all the time aside from LotR - Wheel of Time, Song of Ice and Fire, Stephen King novels, just to name a few popular ones... video games too. They are true bards. : ) Also there's already an open thread about this album : viewtopic.php?f=42&t=4651 although it is quite old.

I am fan of Blind Guardian for 5 years. Of course "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" is one of my favourite albums, following "A Twist in the Myth".
World of Tolkien can be found everywhere ^^
