      For all of Amazon's bluster about strong female protagonists, their attempt utterly and catastrophically fails when compared to Eowyn's portrayal, even with a fraction of the screen time of what's her face from Rings of Power.

    Excellent song. I think I just found a group I will treasure.
    One tiny criticism, though. Please, do not use all caps when writing on the thumbnails with the Ringbearer font. The font was never made for that and it looks terrible. Just use the first letter of a word as uppercase, and then all others in the aforementioned word as lowercase. Please. For the love of all that is unholy. If not for me, do it for Tolkien. D:

    This sequence, "Théoden Sings Metal" , and Gimli's DWARF-METAL sequence, are the best Examples of any member of Middle Earth at the end of the 3rd Age having the correct internal balance and raw personality traits to translate well into a successful Heavy Metal lyric that matches the music. Aragorn did not translate well, nor Sam, nor even Gandalf. But Gimli and Théoden handled "Metal" beautifully - because Tolkien made those two characters both Brave and Nihilistic - both Abandoned of All Hope, and yet still FILLED WITH HOPE. And though both Théoden and Gimli were surrounded by companions, they both felt Alone. And finally, both of them had something to prove: to their ancestors, to the world, and to themselves. These emotional and mental states are fertile fields for some great Heavy Metal expressions to flourish in. Now add to this, the fact that both Théoden and Gimli truly believed that they were responsible to exercise their rights to fight as warriors in Arms, having been given this responsibility by way of the expectations of their families, their race, and the halls that existed in the afterlife, where the fathers of their Ancestral Lineage awaited them for the judgment: "are you worthy" . All of these states of being could theoretically also be claimed by Denethor, Steward of Gondor. But in his case they did not work for any Awesome 3rd Age Heavy Metal compositions. Denethor had many of the right traits, just like Théoden and Gimli, but for Denethor they were all tainted. Yes, Denethor was a Nihilist like Théoden - but Denethor was also a Fatalist, and a Middle Earth Atheist (which meant NO ILLUVATAR, and NO UNDYING LANDS). Denethor was also driven into a manipulated despair by the visions he perceived thru the 'Palantíri', the "Seeing-Stone," which Sauron partially controlled. This weakened Denethor, and we all know that "True" and "Powerful" Heavy Metal 'Cannot Be Weak'. Thus, Théoden and Gimli alone are able to translate well, producing a true Heavy Metal lyric that matches the music perfectly, making Théoden and Gimli the first, and maybe the only real Heavy Metal Superstars in all of Middle Earth.

      Thank you for your feedback and kind words, my friend. To be fully honest, I don't get a good feeling about using AI for the songs, because then it would not be the real performances from the source material. Maybe I'm being stubborn about it... I know sometimes it doesnt sound the best, but at least I know it's the real thing, you know?
