Singing in the Black Speech

Post by Rock of the Fraternity »

Here is a song supposedly sung entirely in the Black Speech created by J.R.R. Tolkien: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUhEsuwp6g8 I realize it isn't Gothic horror, but it does sound rather interesting, and made me think about what the Orcs' own culture might have been like. Despite the fact that they're often used as completely unsympathetic fodder for various dark lords, they must have some culture of their own. This song made me remember the Orc General from the movie, with his claim: "The Age of Man has come to an end. Now dawns the Age of the Orc."

This is unbelievably awesome. Black Metal is completely the music of the Orc. :D What a unique concept and band. Thanks for this!
