5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tolkien-inspired Folk/Black Metal, July 28, 2002

By	"churinga" (Far, Far South, South of Ginnungagap!) - See all my reviews

This debut from finnish newcomers "Battlelore" stands apart for a number of reasons. They have a hard to pin down sound, including synth, flute and all the usual metal instruments. There is 3 vocalists, traditional "raging" extreme metal, clearsung male, and beautiful clearsung female. In this way they cover all the ranges and emotions in thier songs and produce a more fuller song. Thier lyric writing, is entirely inspired by JRR Tolkiens "The Lord of the Rings", and while not up to the caliber of Blind Guardians "Nightfall in MIddle Earth" is generally very competent.

Very nice, unique sounding release, reccomended for all black/folk/pagan/fantasy/viking Metal fans!
