If you’ve been glued to Amazon Prime’s epic saga, you know that episode seven of season two, titled “Doomed to Die,” served up a mind-blowing surprise in its end credits.
The closing anthem, “The Last Ballad of Damrod,” is a thunderous track that hits like a war hammer, and it’s all thanks to the genius of composer Bear McCreary.

With the drumming power of Gene Hoglan behind the kit, this track is dripping with metal heritage and raw intensity. It’s a celebration of the connection between Tolkien’s universe and the heavy metal genre, a bond that has inspired countless legends over the decades.
