What are some great Tolkien related Metal Bands. By that I mean bands that write songs about Lord of the Rings and stuff like that. I know Blind Guardian is a big one but I want more. Also good Lord of the Rings concept albums.

Others that might have some Tolkien lyrics are: Amon Amarth, Gorgoroth, Isengard, Ephel Duath, Lothlorien. I only say might since they have Tolkien inspired names, but I've never really checked out the lyrics.

Amon Amarth are not Tolkien related. Viking with grudge against Christians...

Also Burzum are kind of Tolkien possessed, and Burzum does actually means "darkness" in the language of Mordor... Check the ring inscription under this message...

A stupid amount of bands used Tolkein as inspiration for their names, even ones you wouldn't have thought. It's pretty much a pre-requesite to be a grim black metal or fantasy-style power metal band that your name be somehow Tokein-related. Just about every plain, every mountain, ever obscure as fuck character has a band named after them.
Could be worse though - the next gen of metallers could be wanking off to that closet homosexual Harry Potter and his magic "wand".
