  Minas Tirith; chronicles of insanity
Minas Tirith has now got themselves a record deal on Facefront and an, at least on the paper, worldwide distribution deal with Voices Of Wonder.
Minas Tirith is definetively not a fl metal band,but, at least for my sake, they have the view upon life that I feel most close to.
In our view; Minas Tirith are a genius band who balance their music on a very, very thin line between sanity and insanity.

 Wuthering Heights (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They recorded nothing under this name, changing to Minas Tirith for the release of a demo cassette, entitled Tales From the Woods in late 1992.
By the release of their second demo in 1995 the band had changed their name to Vergelmir.
Wuthering Heights' musical style is relatively unique, combining elements of classic heavy metal and power metal with the highly virtuous speed metal style made popular amongst some sections of the heavy metal community by bands such as DragonForce, as well as strong overtones of Celtic folk music, including bagpipe sections on some songs.

I guess the clock was about 11 o clock when the first band, Minas Tirith, finally entered the stage.
Before I heard Minas Tirith I actually thought that they were a standard goth metal band, but everybody can be wrong for sure.
I guess that fans of the band probably found the gig very good, but the rest was most probably bored like I was.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by metal rock band Cruachan called Pagan
The history of the band, which was originally called "Minas Tirith", is as troublesome as that of their country.
The band was formed in 1992, and since then they have witnessed the arrival and departure of many different members.
The label was offering a good opportunity to the band, but at the same time demanded to have a lot of say as to the songwriting, something that the band found difficult to live with.

 Salute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hand salutes similar to those used in the military are rendered by the Drum Major or a marching band or drum corps just prior to beginning their performance (after the show announcer asks if the group is ready), as well as following completion of the performance...both rendered to the audience.
The classic "corps style" salute is often known as the "punch" type, where the saluting party will first punch their right arm straight forward from their body, arm parallel to the ground, hand in a fist...followed by the more traditional salute position with he right hand....left arm akimbo.
In the films of Tolkien's fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings, the soldiers of the hosts of Minas Tirith in Gondor salute by holding their right hand in a fist over their heart with the enclosed palm facing inwards.

In the end of 1999 the band entered the studio once again to record their fourth album, this time with a full band.
In 2001 Galder decided to make Old Man's Child a one-man band and in April 2002 he will enter the studio to record a new album where he will take care of all instruments except for the drums which will be handled by Dimmu Borgir's Nick Barker.

The last time I saw Minas Tirith was actually on the same gig as when I last saw Carpathian Forest.
Minas Tirith were in great form and had a crystal clear sound, only lacking a little more punch in the guitars to be perfect.
They were among the few foreign bands that attended, and it's a shame that they were denied proper sound.

The metal elements of their music soon began to gravitate to more a more classic heavy metal sound, but the band broke up in 1997 before securing a contract with a new label.

 Saruman, Sauron and Power -- The Lord Of The Rings -- Hollywood Jesus
Over the centuries, Minas Ithil falls into disuse, and when occupied by fell spirits is renamed Minas Morgul.
Minas Anor, meanwhile, is renamed Minas Tirith; and in between the now warring fortresses lies Osgiliath, battleground of the shadows which play between the light of the setting sun and the darkness around the moon.
Naturally, none of Tolkien's exposition about Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul appears in Jackson's movies; indeed, Minas Morgul is not even mentioned in the first two installments.

 WUTHERING HEIGHTS - BIOGRAPHY
Different musicians as well as names like Minas Tirith and Vergelmir have come and gone in the history of the band, and the only founding member in the band today is Erik Ravn.
In summer of 1997 the band finally got a deal with a German record label, who (for some reason) were convinced that the band played gothic/epic metal.
This time the band have injected even more of the folk-music roots into the songs, and the album functions lyrically as the last part of the trilogy about the lonely wanderer.

Ireland's Cruachan isn't the world's first, nor the world's only �folk metal" band (other well known acts being Finland's Amorphis and England's Skyclad, to name but two), but they have arguably gone to the greatest lengths of anyone in their attempts to expand this still largely unexplored sub-genre.
Forming in 1992 from the ashes of an earlier band called Minas Tirith, Cruachan..
Also known to use traditional instrumentation, on occasion, to carry out this mission, the band released their first effort, Tuatha Na Gael, independently in 1995, but broke up a couple of years later after lengthy negotiations failed to yield a deal with Century Media Records.

Well my intial thought is that I don't like it, mostly because I don't understand what it is trying to say, and doesn't grab me as being a cool design on its own.
What still disturbs is that the balls were just copied and mirrored (at least the 1st and the 3rd one, haven't checked it out that carefully) and that the right ball would hang much higher if it hung down like the others.

Back in 1999 while Norway’s Dimmu Borgir were in pre-production for the album Spiritual Black Dimensions, Shagrath and Nagash (then a member of the band) got together for a jam session after rehearsals to let out another type of creative steam.
With Shagrath on guitar and Nagash (now aka Lex Icon) on drums, miles of ideas and riffs were recorded on tape, but the project had to be put on ice due to the priorities to their main bands - namely, Dimmu Borgir and The Kovenant.
Lex soon had to bow out but was quickly replaced by drummer Tony White (Minas Tirith), and the smell of burning rubber soon erupted from CHROME DIVISION’s rehearsal space.
