Oh man oh man I am really breaking theme here today aren't I? Well before you come to my house with pitchforks and other various angry mob equipment just hear me out for a second will you? Just think for a second, how many bands have you seen that have names based off of LOTR? Let me list a few out for you: Burzum(formerly Uruk-Hai), Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Amon Amarth, and many other less known ones as well. Clearly metal music has been pretty strongly influenced by the Lord Of The Rings and other of J.R.R Tolkiens' tales of Middle Earth. So here I'm going to present some art that was done of LOTR, and many of these paintings inspired Peter Jackson when he was making the film, and many may seem familiar to what you have seen in the movies.
