23 years is what it took this symphonic metal to realize this megalomanic project! It was their dream to write their own Wagnerian version of a story that is very familiar with JJR Tolkiens stories. Recorded with the unleashed omnipotence of the soundtrack-experienced Prague Filmharmonic in Pragu...
