Warthur
Summoning's fifth album is still rooted in the classic style established on their third, with the added twist of numerous samples taken from the BBC radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings - an inspired choice, since as well as being my personal favourite adaptation of Tolkien and a big influence on the Peter Jackson movies, the BBC radio version also has a dark atmosphere to it which works really well with Summoning's sweeping, epic blackened doom metal (or is it doomed black metal? - it's hard to tell at this point). It might be more of the same, but when it's this good I'll take it.
