	English 321: Tolkien & Oxford Christianity
		The notions of the magical and supernatural on which Tolkien draws through the trilogy came from his deep love of Northern myth, and especially the Old Norse sagas and Anglo Saxon poetry of the heroic age.
		Tolkien was a great scholar of Anglo Saxon and Old Norse, and brought about a revolution at Oxford by insisting that such works as
		Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.

		THE METAL OBSERVER - JRR Tolkien - A Metal-pioneer?
		Well, of course it is not pure coincidence that it is Tolkien, who is this source for inspiration for so many bands and artists, with "The Lord Of The Rings" being the very first Fantasy-epos that has reached a place in world-literature, the majority of this genre usually looked down at as mere fairy-tale-stories.
		An absolutely exceptional position where Tolkien and Metal are concerned is taken in by the Austrian two-man-band SUMMONING, which bases its complete concept as a band onto "The Lord Of The Rings".

	Amazon.co.uk: The Hobbit: Books: J.R.R. Tolkien (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Bilbo Baggins lives a pleasantly stodgy and dull life in the Shire, in a luxurious hole under a hill ("It was a hobbit hole, and that means comfort").
		Author J.R.R. Tolkien had been crafting his mythos of Elves, Dwarves, Wizards and Men for years before writing "The Hobbit," but "The Hobbit" is the first story that people had the opportunity to read.
		Tolkien's writing is quick and light, while providing sufficient detail to let you picture what's going on, but also letting his words paint the landscapes, the atmosphre of Mirkwood and Laketown, and the menace of the goblins.

	Sauron - thrash metal from Michigan
		METAL SIDE: Many death/fl/thrash and power metal bands use names from Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings (for instance Morgoth, Amon Amarth, Gorgoroth, Narsilion or Dungortheb) to call themselves.
		Thrash metal (and metal in general) is an underground form of music that should stay that way.
		METAL SIDE: Are the relations between the musicians and fans in Michigan strong and honest enough to say that the underground isn’t only an empty word in case of the scene in your state?

	Mithril - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is possible that this legendary material was meant to be titanium, as this metal, while actually quite abundant as ore, was very expensive to produce in its metallic form (especially by medieval technology), and has some of mithril 's properties of strength, bright silvery colour, corrosion resistance, and light weight.
		Other possibilities are aluminium or magnesium; these metals are even lighter than titanium, but not as strong, and were more expensive to produce in medieval times.
		Given the presence of magic, mithril might not be a solid metal, but a composite instead; such as metal foam or a conventional metal with carbon nanotube reinforcement.

		The miniature Shards of Narsil are presented with a hand-painted cold cast statue of an Elven Princess cradling a shield that the removable shards lay upon.

	Battlelore - Sword's Song Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Tolkien-based power metal bands, while providing a source of extreme humor for the metal world, are often a sure bet for some enjoyable yet not overly spectacular music.
		Battlelore is an unusual band in their own right, and seem to fuse elements on the opposite ends of the metal spectrum.
		I can stand some pretty cheesy power metal, but this is where I would have to draw the line.

		Yes, that music is fantasy metal, but not so far into the light and epic tones of Blind guardian, but more of a darker and atmospheric approach.
		Being a extremely big Tolkien fan, I was shocked and amazed that thier were bands such as this.
		The bands music is inspired by the works of J. Tolkien (for those who have been in a hole these past few years, he was the man who created Lord of the Rings).

	Summoning (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their style has been described as 'Tolkien metal' - not without reason, for the lyrics on most of the albums they have published yet deals with the mythological world of J.
		Silenius was in a doom metal band Shadow Vale (at 16 years old) and had a few years in music school studying piano.
		The lyrical concept again was totally based on Tolkien's Middle-earth concept, but for the first time it was combined with some inspiration from Michael Moorcock's fantasy writings.

		Calling all worshippers of total death metal, come heed the call, as this bloody war hatred is about to commence upon humanity’s failing existence.
		Their first album since 2002, Merrimack has assumed the role as one of fl metal’s most elusive (this is their first album in four years) and downright cutthroat bands – this is highly recommended, practically mandatory fl metal.
		This band have gone with a schizophrenic music style that vocally emulates a hybrid of noise fl metal and a touch of grindcore which is then intermixed with a musical style of North American death metal.

	Summoning Guitar Tabs and Chords @ Guitar Masta.net
		Before his activities in Summoning, Protector was playing drums in a kind of "old fashioned" thrash/death metal band Marlignom, that nearly got a record deal at Peaceville Records, but in that time the band broke up.
		His very first musical experience was a rock band (he was 15 years old then) and a four year study of drums in the music school.
		The musical experience of Silenius was a doom metal band Shadow vale (at 16 years old) and few years in music school studying piano.

	Two Tolkien Metal CDs - Message Board - ezboard.com (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Blind Guardian is an over-the-top power metal band from Germany, so think Scorpions I guess, but with operatic vocals that show some Queen influences, and a few Medieval bits and short drama pieces added in for flavor and to move the story along.
		The music moves from full-on death metal to progressive power metal to stuff that is almost folk music, and the band incorporates a keyboardist to very good effect.
		Anyway, for anyone who likes aggressive metal and is also very into Tolkien, both cds are interesting to listen to.

	Leaves' Eyes: Vinland Saga - PopMatters Music Review
		It's no different today, as many bands continue to push the envelope, such as Nile's thoroughly researched songs about Egyptology, Battlelore's unique brand of Tolkien metal, and most notably, the style that has come to be known as Viking metal.
		Scandinavian metal bands have always been reverential to their Nordic heritage, to the point where some acts, including Amon Amarth and Grand Magus, carry on like they believe their rampaging, seafaring warriors.
		Other than that, Vinland Saga is a classy slice of melodic metal, one that avoids cheesy trappings and symphonic bombast, revealing a heart that beats underneath all the power chords.

	Metal-Rules.com: Concert Reviews - Blind Guardian
		Though having incredible success in several European countries, especially in Germany where the “Tolkien” power metal heroes usually play in front of several thousand people in metal festivals - for example in Wacken of this year where the whole battle field was entirely packed.
		For some bizarre and eccentric reason the Tolkies’ metalizd fairy tellers have never ever visited us here in Finland, obviously due to the prejudiced presumption and afraid of getting a real lame advance ticket sale as well as the lame response from the audience or whatever.
		But what the heck, the whole place was totally packed by young Tolkien metalheads whose average age was moving around 18 having crawled to testify the premier show of Blind Guardian.

		Since Tolkien did not invent the idea of Elves, I think it is a safe bet that Ildfrost didn't have Tolkien in mind while they were composing this piece.
		According to Lyle Steadham's liner notes, this song was based not on Tolkien but on H.P. Lovecraft: "Based on a short story by the early 20th century author, H.P. Lovecraft.
		The title of this live track refers merely to the name of the jazz club in Portland, Oregon where the song was recorded, not to the inspiration for the song itself.
