lady of the flail a masterpiece of an album. i am a huge fan of tolkien so this instantly drew me in but the album simply blew my mind. it was like there was magic interwoven between each note that played and i could not stop listening. i obviously had to buy the entire discography after that. Favorite track: In the Gardens of Lórien.

MarsDragoner An impressive and charming journey in the vein of the old masters, clad in delightful imagery and done with a tasteful modern approach. Rarely get the creations of Tolkien brought into something palpable so vividly like it was done here. Favorite track: Estë, Maiden of Lórellin.

irida [ETERNAL] I really can't express in words how much I love this album. I am nearly in tears from the emotions it makes me feel. It passes the spirit of Middle Earth so succesfully. I feel like an elf. Thank you so much for making this, Frostgard. Favorite track: Estë, Maiden of Lórellin.

about

“…And many among them became enamoured of its beauty, and of its history which they saw beginning and unfolding as in a vision. Therefore Ilúvatar gave to their vision Being, and set it amid the Void, and the Secret Fire was sent to burn at the heart of the World; and it was called Eä.” (Valaquenta, The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien).

Valaquenta II is the second part of the Valaquenta ritual, the music that guides the story of the Valar according to the Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. In Frostgard's second release, the stories and thoughts of the Valar are told through dark and ancient melodies of Dungeon Synth music.

Valaquenta is dedicated to the greatest spirits of this world, the Valar.
