Ok, so I want a list....

[plfffffft]

Of every single metal band who's name comes from Lord of the Rings. Don't know why, I'm just curious. so, feel free to post any band that hasn't been listed here yet.

To get us started:

Burzum(and Grishnacht, an Orc General in the Two Towers)
Amon Amarth
Gorgoroth
Shagrath(I know, he's only the singer, but worth mentioning, as Shagrat is another Orc General in Return of The King)
Isengard
Cirith Ungol
Ephel Duath
Gandalf

That's all I can think of. If you can remember any more, feel free.

i asked the question about ephel duath on www.lotrplaza.com and this is the answer i got.

Ephel Duath is Sindarin for "outer-fences" or "dark-shadow" (don’t ask me why there’s two meanings). It consists of the mountains forming the south and west boarders of Mordor and is about 800 miles long. In Westron, the chain in called the Moutains of Shadow (or the Shadowy Mountains).

so there ya go, hope that clears it up for people

Burzum is old word from norway.
Tolkien got most of his names etc from Scandinavian mythology.

[St. Vitus]

Flotsam & Jetsam

A name of one of the chapters in The Two Towers...

I don't think that they derived their band name from LotR though. "flotsam and jetsam" is a common idiom that means debris, usually associated with the sea.

 

[manuelgv]

Marillion

they aren't metal but they did get inspired by Tolkien on the name

 

[chemicalburn]

Blind Guardian-not the name, but thats all they sing about
Fangorn
Minas Morgul


There's more, but I have a brain fart.
