You won’t find clear and complex songs here. Grimdor focuses much more on lo-fi quality and catchy song structures like the early second wave of black metal. The simplicity of the early 90s, primitively produced songs that in no way reinvent the wheel – these are raw, arcane and ancients sounds. Different places and stories are thematically treated, some of which deal with Erebor, Khazad-dûm but also the tragedy of Turin and Niníel. “The Shadow of the Past” is a collection of diverse works originally released as EP or single. May our paths cross on the Lonely Mountain!
