3 stars 3.5 stars really...

ISILDURS BANE have been around for over thirty years.They started as a symphonic rock group by mid-70's,influenced by bands like GENESIS,E.L.P. and GENTLE GIANT.Their first release ''Sagan om ringen'' is a nice debut of folk-tinged symphonic rock with a running time just over 30 minutes.The first band that comes to mind listening to ISILDURS BANE's debut is KAIPA.Here we have to deal with a variety of compositions,ranging from beautiful symphonic rock with fast keyboard/guitar interplays and mellow acoustic moments to nice flute-driven folkish passages and even some slight mood for experimentation with crazy drum solos and synthesizer loops.Vocals are decent and all lyrics are sung in their native language.Not the best work of symph prog in the market,but a very good effort,especially symphonic and folk rock fans might find it a must-have...
