Hithlum - In The Land Of Mordor Where The Shadows Lie

After the movie trilogy of The Lord Of The Rings it seem every metal band is adapting the names of story. And so here is the US pagan black metal band Hithlum. This album completely in Tolkien style. But what they miss is a good sound quality, looks like I am listening to a soft demo tape. The songs are sung aggressive, change frequently in tempo and melody andd have keyboard interludes. This album don't have any impact to my instead l the movies did.
