Roadrunner Records is now streaming “The Last Ballad Of Damrod”, the first original song from the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The single was composed by Emmy Award winner Bear McCreary, and features vocals from Jens Kidman of Meshuggah fame.
Says McCreary: “When I first glimpsed Damrod, the murderous troll in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season Two, I knew immediately I had to call Jens Kidman,” said McCreary. “The aggressive frontman of Meshuggah, Jens put a searing brand on ‘The Last Ballad of Damrod’ with his blistering vocal performance.
“I am exhilarated to team up with Roadrunner Records, home to some of my favorite bands of all time like Gojira and Slipknot, to bring our song to the world. My collaboration with Jens, alongside virtuoso drummer Gene Hoglan, on ‘The Last Ballad of Damrod,’ offers an introduction to my exploration of the darker recesses of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s legendarium and sets the stage for the rest of the sweeping score to come.”
