Shadow Rising

Shadow Rising is the first album by the Australian Folk Rock group Soundestiny and features music inspired by The Lord of the Rings. However, throughout the songs, there are no actual mentions of LOTR characters - like Frodo or Arwen, nor of Middle-earth place names – such as Rivendell or Rohan, etc. This album, together with Soundestiny's 2010 release, Winds of Change, forms a 25-song rock musical titled RingLord. The band has also written and recorded music inspired by The Hobbit releasing a mini-album, All that Glitters, in 2009, and plans to follow up later with a full album inspired by the LOTR prequel.
