My favorite Tolkien related songs (all on Spotify and Youtube)
The Song of Durin by Clamavi de Profundis
A cover of the song Gimli sings in LOTR
It’s just so good
For another good song, listen to Lament for Boromir
Finrod and Sauron by Lind Erebros
This song rocks so hard
The russian accent is amazing and fits Sauron well
Anything to do with this song battle makes me happy (in other words listen to the Clamavi de Profundis cover of the poem)
The Noldolante and Lay of Leithian Elven Oratories are so good. A mix of rock, instrumental, and other songs that I don’t know how to describe.
The Fall of Finrod by Rivendell
Yes, it’s another song about Finrod and Sauron’s battle
In fact, it’s a cover of it
A more metal cover
Starts off calmly, screams for a while, then becomes calm again, then screams at the end
Though it wouldn’t really call it screaming it’s just kind of a rough voice
I like this band. They cover some Tolkien poems but not in the melodic calm way Clamavi de Profundis does.
Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) by Blind Guardian
About the Doom of Mandos
Kinda makes me sad when I think about it, but this song is very much rock
Listen to the whole Nightfall in Middle-earth album. I bought a physical copy of this album just so I could listen to it in my car every day.
Eol the Dark by Feanor
Was apprehensive at first but then listened on repeat for a day
I like the more melodic parts when Eöl begs Maeglin and Aredhel to come back
Feanor by Númenor
I just really like the part where he sings the word Fëanor
It’s the only word I can understand
A great song by a great band who I need to listen to more
Not all of their songs are Tolkien related but are still good
In fact, one of them has Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian in it
Bauglir by Summoning
This band was too much screaming for me at first
But I learned to love them
Listened to this song first and it was really good even though it’s not singing
About Morgoth talking to Húrin
For the Kingdom I Shall Claim by Dwarrowdelf
Beginning reminds me of Land of the Dead by Summoning and also of some of the other songs from a different album by this artist
This whole album is about Aragorn w/ an Arwen song too
I’ve heard this album described as melodeath and it’s a style I very much love
Another good song from it is The Three Hunters, I just like the mention of Boromir
Listen to the Sons of Fëanor album you will not regret it
Her Mighty Heart - Keys of Orthanc
Metal but has some melodic bits
Éowyn fighting the Witchking
My cat left the room as soon as I started listening to this to write about it

“I think I finally may have figured out what these powers are for"
Danny. Daniel. Danward. Danothy. What is this greater purpose you are implying? You fucked around and found out. You ripped open a hole in the spacetime continuum on yourself. You looked common sense in the face and walked backwards into a microwave. There was no divine intervention here. You tripped and hit a button. You fucked up a perfectly good jumpsuit is what you did

I don't have anything you don't already have, but I'm invested in this.
My friends and I had made our own custom deck as well but it was lost 3 computers ago.
Cards Against Arda
Card Cast seems to have gone to Internet Heaven… a group of us at Erestor’s Library are trying to rebuild whatever we can in at least a Google Docs format. If anyone has screen caps or lists or anything else that would be helpful in compiling, please respond or pm - thank you!

I am just a halfa that was made
By a very lonely scientist
My creation was a miracle
Of science
But inside me there’s a missing part
Something that you can’t simply create
It is something humans call a heart

Now that I know that there’s an actual reference sheet for strive, I decided to have another go at drawing him, this time trying to emulate the art style from the video. I tried my best with the ship, but the reference for it wasn’t released until I was already well into the coloring phase :’D (I still have no idea how they paint their skies)

Inktober Day 8: Frail
I have recently been enamoured with the TWRP music video for their song Starlight Brigade, so today’s drawing is of Strive.
