luaxeada Beautifully haunting and evocative of Tolkien’s work. Absolutely love this!

baboonsandmoons I am glad this treasure was recovered. While sonically different than its later brethren, the tone of this album is the same. Epic, gorgeous synth in the world of Tolkien. Favorite track: Aldudénië.

about

Finally making its debut! 2015's "The Darkening of Valinor" by THANGORODRIM was previously briefly released for a moment digitally and then wiped... until now! It's existence for many years only existed in rumblings of underground message boards, heard only by the rare few who managed to download the audio before it was deleted. This demo is the true "first" Thangorodrim recording and is comprised of 5 tracks of Tolkien inspired old school dungeon synth. This recording sees Thangorodrim use a lot more vocal effects and black metal style screams than on any recording since! Whether you are a completist or new to the genre, you would be well suited to add this rare recording to your collection. Highest recommendation!

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly
