Russian black metal.
From the depths of the ancient legends of Arda this
music arises - like the wind on the first day of summer,
rushing over cold mountains. Within it lives the memory
of times when тревbles were yet unknown; echoes of
forgotten wars can be heard, along with the whisper of
the ruins of Beleriand, long covered by the sea, and the
shadows of fallen kingdoms.
This album is a journey through mist‑shrouded passes,
along dried streams in dark forests and across the
silent plains of a world where sorrow is unknown and
each day passes quietly, like a dream. Here the songs of
bards still linger, traces of long‑faded battles remain,
and the roads lead through an ancient age slowly fading
like the light of sunset.
Epic atmospheric black metal woven from the grandeur,
melancholy and austere beauty of Middle‑earth, praised
in ancient hymns and forgotten tales. Music in which the
images of heroes and the cold shadows of majestic halls
awaken - music about an eternal and beautiful world that
never truly existed...
Description of the album cover, and what served as the
inspiration for this design:
For many long years, he had gathered knowledge of the
past piece by piece: from the old songs of the Noldor,
from the tattered scrolls and tablets of Númenor, from
fragments of forgotten hymns and lost legends. By night
he sat in the dusty halls of Gondor's libraries, fishing
out the truth from scraps of charred manuscripts. In the
silence of cold cells, among the archives, in dark
basements and damp grottoes shrouded in dead cobwebs,
step by step a living picture of Middle-earth's past
took shape - and the secret of the Dark Lord was
revealed... and his one...
