Carved from the mythic lore of J.R.R. Tolkien, Quest of the Silmaril recounts the tale of Beren and Lúthien—their defiance of Angband, their perilous deeds, and the doom that shadowed their path. With a soundscape as vast and perilous as the First Age itself, the track weaves together blackened fury, sweeping atmospheres, and mournful grandeur worthy of its source.
The cover artwork for Dawn of the Iron Shadow was wrought by the legendary Ted Nasmith, renowned illustrator of The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales.
