The Ancient Glory, by Rivendell

The Ancient Glory

by Rivendell

supported by

grahamy This evokes Middle Earth as effectively as Summoning (and that's high praise) but by different means. Lots of memorable foot stomping riffs and an overall awkward youthful charm. Awesome!

Jacobby Jones This is a must for any Tolkien metal fan to have in their collection. Favorite track: The King Beneath the Mountains.

Fjordlord Finally! Rivendell on Bandcamp.
I can't believe it's twenty one years since this was released!
Out of the countless Tolkien inspired metal bands, Rivendell tops my list. Summoning comparisons wouldn't do justice, and I love Summoning! This is just a case of less is more. No need for a hundred layers of synth, when the song writing is this good.I would recommend all albums.
Thank you Gerold. Your music has been my soundtrack to the many corners of Middle Earth. Favorite track: The King Beneath the Mountains.

This one in particular really shows the nowadays potential that Stefan had and has. A little bit different take on this genre with authentic black metal production. The Varg-like vocals really hit hard, especially in Liksom Frihet song, which is in Swedish. stophon
