Songs of the Dwarves by Lonely Mountain Band

[Gilrond]

Some music I've just found:

Durin's Awakening
The Battle of Azanulbizar

[MishkaL1138]

I love it!

[Karzela~]

Both songs were good! I especially liked the bagpipes with the acoustic mix near the end of the song in the 2nd link you posted. 

[Lumi]

* Lumi swirls her Battle Hammers above her head and pushes a roar battle cry !

Excellent ! I will play one of those when Hammers goes on a hunt eheh

Thanks for sharing Gilrond

From the song page:

Again the sounds of pipes can be heard at the end of this battle; yet these are tinted with grief, and not the joyous dance of the Second Sacking. This final pipe song after the battle was evermore called “The Misty Mountain Air/Lament of Khazad-dum”

The Lonely Mountain Band heh 

Tried LotRO some months ago. I almost squealed aloud when I reached the first major city and saw a group of minstrels RPers playing musical instruments on the Market Square. An amazingly immersive game, that one.

Glad you liked it. I suspected Hammers would be interested

I tried playing it a while ago, but had hard time running it in Wine on Linux. I might give it another try, may be things have improved since.

Not directly related to the above. I just discovered that Blind Guardian made an additional song for Nightfall in Middle Earth -
"Harvest of Sorrow": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzQhX0waMzQ (it's about Beren and LĂșthien).

She is gone, leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time, hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night, pain remains inside

Suddenly it seemed so clear
(Oh)
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes and she called out my name
She was never ever, never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone and I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn and so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand
(Alone)

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin
