Hello friends,

As you've probably noticed, the myspace music player is up with a teaser from the upcoming album. You can hear a few extracts from new tracks, of course it's all unmixed and unfinished but I wanted to thank you all for following the band and being so patient !

Here's also a brand new interview. Its features the same new musical excerpts from the upcoming album as well as some music from "The Lay of Leithian". http://vimeo.com/6738983

September 2009: Ainulindalë song on "The First Ring" compilation

Hello friends,

Ainulindalë is contributing with a brand new song to a compilation called "The First Ring". "The First Ring" is a Tolkien-fan compilation featuring many interesting bands of different styles.

To get your copy, go to http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=151575430&blogId=508256212

The Ainulindalë song is called "The Parting", it's the new version of the track "The Song of Parting" that you can hear on this myspace page. It's entirely rerecorded with a much better sound and it has new arrangements. Since the song is not completly finished, the compilation features a rough mix of the song, it's slightly different version than the final one that will be on the upcoming album.

I'll post a new blog about the recording sessions soon, in a few words: I'm recording my vocals and I'm waiting for the other singers to be available.

Take care,

Engwar
