Gurthang, that was a mother of a blade.
If Gurthang could really talk, I would have to say that it would be one awesome sword.
But then, there's always SteadfastSam's theory that Gurthang speaking to Turin was one of his paranoid hallucinations that came from being a pansy.

The remaining members also thought GURTHANG suited better to the style they play: fl/death metal.
At this very moment the band is preparing its first release, a full-cd entitled 'The Irony of Death (Chronicles of a Magical Vengeance and an Inevitable Death)', a real fantasy concept-story.
So now GURTHANG is preparing the recording sessions for their full-length cd.

 THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Gurthang, The Talking sword of Turin Turamber
Gurthang,, "Death Iron" was the name given by Turin to the fl sword formely known as Anglachel.
I might even put forth that the metal which Gurthang was made of had the ability to amplify and/or incarnate or manifest feelings and spiritual traits.
But I also think that it would be totally "un-Tolkien like" for him to have meant for Gurthang's statement to be something other than that which it was protrayed.

 The Twin Blades of Eöl
A completely different color study would of course have to be produced for the Black Sword, but the character of the sword would also have to change.
This may sound odd as the lines and design for Anglachel and Gurthang are identical, but I feel that the grayscale drawing is only a glimpse of the weapon, color provides the character, and Gurthang’s character is as far removed from Anglachel’s as Valinor is from Middle-earth.
The changes for Gurthang amounted to adding large amounts of fl and basically grunging up the blade.

 KMC Forums - Favorite Weapon of ME
Beleg Strongbow was struck down by Turin Turambar, who used Gurthang on him, mistaking Beleg for an orc.
Turin slew Glaurung with Gurthang, as well as Brandir and many others, and alas impaled himself upon its cold fl edge.
The sheer sadness of the story and the obvious cold and dark will of the sword (a remnant of the will of Eol its master) is what makes it so interesting to me. No other swords can compare to it personality-wise, save maybe Glamdring, the sword of Turgon wielded later by Gandalf.

 Heren Istarion
While Beleg was a mighty Elf to bear the sword, Turin was the mightier.
He used the sword to great fame, re-naming it Gurthang, Iron of Death.
For all the mighty of Turin, Gurthang is the sword of least import among these great three (Although it is more important than perhaps every other sword in the history of Middle-earth) because although it slayed Glaurung, it also did Morgoth's bidding for him, claiming the lives of Beleg, Brandir, and eventually Turin himself.

Kit said that Gurthang was a favourite of him, I for myself would be glad to own Ringil, fingolfin's sword.
10-07-2003 03:02 PM Oh that would be absolutely fantastic, that is if the style suits me. I'd like to see Angrist, and they could do Anguirel to go with Anglachel (later Gurthang), or maybe not...
Gurthang would have to be something *very* special, if it's nice there's a chance I'd purchase and I think many swordcollectors/tolkien readers with me.
