People who equate having money to the divine right of kings tend to forget about cromwell.

This has preeeeetty much been running in a loop in my head for the past three days.

great song πŸ‘

I know these guys, they have that awesome lotr album.

They have many many great albums, and are raging nerds (Curse my name is actually about King Charles and Cromwell). My personal faves are their takes on Mordred and the battle of Camlann (gotta be live) and Homer's Illiad.

BTW, nightfall on middle earth is the silmarillion, not lotr :P

Silmarillion , eh, πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

It's all cool. Thanks for putting me onto this band.

Oh man that is the only Tolkien book I have not read. It’s just so dense. Trying to read or listen to it is like a teaspoon of brain cells spread over a brick of dry brown bread.

Which is a shame because the actual lore seems interesting
