Hello everyone. I want to present to you the first album of the greatest Middle-earth band, the Leaves of Lorien. It is a conceptual album describing the famous visit of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Lothlorien forest. It's a heavily medieval folk-influenced dungeon synth and it was crafted with great love and fanatism of the true Tolkien admirer. Any criticism or a kind word is welcomed. The Bandcamp link is here. I'll share download codes here, so you can give it a listen, just comment below which one you used! dp5b-hbjvhy34-j5ua 4uvj-gra7qlg6-34u5fct2-cmefLeaves of Lorien - Golden Wood

Thanks, man. It was painted with watercolors and with a little tweaking in Photoshop.

Was just listening to this yesterday after hearing your track on Voices of the Ainur, quality work! I love the variety on display here, songs as colorful as your cover.

Thanks, man. It was painted with watercolors and with a little tweaking in Photoshop. I highly respect original artwork, and the fact that you painted it yourself is a testament to your skill & artistic vision. I agree with mahrgdidj, these tracks are simply colorful, gorgeous compositions. Most charming and lush stuff I've listened to in a while.

Greetings and welcome!! Thanx for the offer, I used code 4uvj-gra7 , as soon as I have some impressions I'll get back to you!!
Regards!!
Edit: Nice work, in the more soothing side of things, if I would highlight some songs they would be "caras Galadhon","Tall and White..","Do you hear..." and "Leaves of Lorien". As a sidenote, as usually I didn't enjoy some speech/samples in a couple I think of the other songs (I think they break immersion (except if done exceptionally crafty and fitting with the song)) but may be it's just me since other people here do not mind vocals/speech/samples/etc...

Thanks for the observation. Each composition is written for a scene from two chapters of a book that takes place in Lothlorien. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a film director, so I directed a bit with sound samples. It's a matter of taste. I can agree with you that it's not an artistic way, but it was a lot of fun and I think that in this case, it fits the subject well. This does not apply to the vocal parts, they are integral parts of the composition. Thanks again for the comment and a welcome note.

Hi, use the code dp5b-hbjv, I really like your cover artwork. I'm going to take this afternoon to listen to him with something to drink. Listen to the first minute of "And now we must enter the Golden Wood, you say" and I'm already bewitched!
