From the shadowed vales of Brethil, traverses through Beleriand with an epic new lament, “Quest of the Silmaril.”
The song a glimpse into their forthcoming epic, ‘Dawn of the Iron Shadow,’ to be released on October 31 through Profound Lore Records.
One of Nine says,
“Another page from the Book of the Iron Shadow is unfurled.
“The tale of Lúthien the witch and her thrall Beren, of their willful misdeeds, their callow plotting, their promised demise. For in setting against the absolute dominion of Angband, they received nought but a stray ember from our Lord’s radiant pyre, and were everafter hunted and driven to the shores of mortal ruin.
“The tale of the Silmaril’s Quest is one of grave admonition, that none may offend the might of Melkor.”
The cover artwork (below) was carefully wrought by the hand of Ted Nasmith, a craftsman of no small renown who is the illustrator of J. R. R. Tolkien‘s works ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ ‘Unfinished Tales,’ and ‘The Silmarillion.’
