Editorial Review:
Product Description:
With their fifth album, the Finns of Battlelore return once again to Tolkien's legendary world Middle Earth. "The Last Alliance" is a true gem, in which the band delivers innovative songs, while remaining true to their roots. They effortlessly combine impressive heavy metal guitars, dreamy keyboard melodies, and an uncanny attention to detail to create an array of catchy songs. In the midst of it all are Tomi Mykkänen and Kaisa Jouhki, who with the exchanges of Uruk-hai screams and tender female vocal passages dictate the direction of the fellowship. The full, yet clean sound is the work of Swedish legend Dan Swanö and the optic appeal is provided for by Ingo Römling of Monozelle. Noteworthy is the deluxe limited edition 8-panel digipak that includes a live bonus DVD of Battlelore's performance at the 2007 Metal Female Voices Festival. Driving whips, ramming rhythms, the roar of the orcs, and elvish vocals make "The Last Alliance" the jewel of Epic Fantasy Metal, and certainly one Tolkien fans should not ignore.

This is my favrite album. There are a lot of clean male vocals on here just like the first album.

A very good album, Battlelore is the first symphonic metal band I listened to and the first beauty-and-the-beast band I have heard. I was drawn to the band by the Lord of the Rings theme, expecting an epic band with epic lyrics and fantastic instrumentation. I was not disappointed.
My only qualm with this album is that the female vocals, occasionally, seem out of place, but other than that this is a perfect CD. By a long string of coincidences this album led me to Viking Metal, but that's not important.
Anyways, this album is a fine example of symphonic power metal at its finest. Featuring superb harsh growling male vocals and above-average female vocals, Battlelore delivers solid music that I can listen to for hours on end. My favorite tracks are The Third Immortal, Exile The Daystar, and The Great Gathering, all three of which I rank among my favorite 100 Songs of All Time.

In an era that has seen Viking-Metal, Folk-Metal, Symphonic-Metal, and more, Battlelore stands alone in a genere of music that's best described as âTolkien-Metalâ...their music is epic, with tales of battle, magic, mystery, and an orc or two.
On their latest, âThe Last Allianceâ, Battlelore's song-writing has progressed impressively. Their sound is more melodic overall, and the hooks are catchy without compromising the band's ability to rock-out. One of the things I liked about this album is that the extreme vocals of Tomi Mykkänen are being used far more judiciously than most bands that use the female/clean-male/extreme vocal formula, and to better use than Battlelore themselves have used them in the past. Not every sound out of his throat is a grunt, so when he does roar, it has a greater effect. Exile The Daystar, in particular, shows how to use male vocals well without being too extreme. The clean male backing vocals give the album a greater epic feeling than the ... Read More
