Founded in 1999 by Jyri Vahvanen and Mika Kokkola, Finnish leaden metallic element ensemble Battlelore blend the epic sounds of power, peasant, and death metal with mental imagery from author J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. Formed in the city of Lappeenranta, the grouping, whose members changed about frequently, released deuce demos (Warrior's Tale and Dark Fantasy) before securing a record deal with Napalm in 2001. The resulting Where the Shadows Lie was released the following year. Sword's Song arrived in 2003, followed by One-third Age of the Sun in 2005. Evernight arrived in early 2007.
