[QUOTE="EntropyDecay, post: 996936, member: 10652"] One of Germany's most famous* Melodic Power Metal band "Blind Guardian" has made a concept album based on the Silmarillion. It is called "Nightfall in Middle-Earth". The same band also has made a song called "The lord of the rings". [Their latest album has a song called "The soulforged" which is about Raistlin from The Dragonlance series]. There are more metal bands out there whose lyrics cover Tolkien themes, but most of them have are relatively unknown [Minas Morgul,...]. Chris *I can't tell if anyone in the USA knows them, but they are really famous [read: for a metal band] in Europe & Japan. They even considered to contribute some songs to the "Lord of the Rings" [the movie] soundtrack, but decided against it because of their full time schedule. Unconfirmed rumors from movie fansites are that they would have had a not so small chance against Enya... [/QUOTE]
