I think a lot of you guys will like this band quite a bit.

It's wonderful female vocals, with some male vocals mixed in. They are a folk/symphonic metal band from Finland. All of their lyrics relate to J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth (he's the Lord of the Rings writer, for those who don't know). VERY beautiful vocalist!

LOTR fans will LOVE them and their videos.

This band sounds familiar...I am sure I listened to one of their albums a long time ago...but I didn't pursue them afterward. I like the female vocalist, and...the gutteral vocals actually fit okay with the theme, which is unusual for me.

I might delve deeper into them, thanks for the thread Foxy.

Their 2011 album "Doombound"

I actually have all their CDs ( and their live DVD ) other then the new one. Checking the samples now.
