Rivendell
Another in a growing number of bands named after J.R.R. Tolkien
characters/places, Rivendell is a one-man Austrian band playing
mid-paced folky black metal, sounding somewhat like a cross between
Moonsorrow and
Falkenbach
(coincidentally or not, Falkenbach is also a one-man black metal
band, and its founder runs the record label that Rivendell was
signed to).
The Ancient Glory, released in 2000,
is a decent first effort, affording a majestic
air at its best while a bit plodding and pedestrian at its worst.
Two albums have been released since
Glory, the latest being
Farewell - The Last Dawn, in 2005.
