Dwarrowdelf is back with their new full length album, Of Dying Lights, delving deeper into the lore of Tolkien. This album contains seven tracks of epic metal, one being a cover of both Sojourner and Summoning melded together into an incredible journey of a song. Moving more into his own style with each offering, this is an incredible album.
Reviews:
-----------
"The album is overflowing with moments that will at least make you sit up and take notice, and at best leave you breathless. This isn’t just another solid improvement, it’s Dwarrowdelf on the verge of becoming completely world class." -

"It’s not that you haven’t heard music like this before — it’s just that it’s done really well here, like Midnight Odyssey but obsessed with Middle Earth instead of space. This stuff can turn into cheese real quick, but this experienced blacksmith forges atmospheric black metal that takes you on a thrilling journey through the twilight hall." -

"It’s with “Of Dying Lights” that we get a truly gorgeous approach to the style that is filled with character, heart, understanding of the respective lore, and fantastic musicianship that is all-consuming" -

"Dwarrowdelf has made a monumental step where most others have not tread….. one that will ultimately see them flourish even more." -

"Dwarrowdelf loses in Black Atmo what he gains in originality and for me really knew how to develop something personal." -

"The music is absolute top class in this genre: brilliant tempo changes, atmospheric melodies in which you feel like an eagle that floats through Middle Earth, light bursts, fairytale piano and guitar playing" -

"However, in times when I need to be calm, or really want to relax, it is exactly the kind of thing I listen to. Again the quality of this Dwarrowdelf album is incredible, and the composition is almost faultless" -
