Style
Battlelore mixes female vocals with harsh male Death growl|growling in "beauty and the beast" duet, http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/shoreview.php? id=8926& lang=en Battlelore – Evernight backed by heavy guitar riffing and occasional keyboard interludes. The band's style takes elements from gothic metal , folk metal , power metal , and melodic death metal . Because of the ambiguity of Battlelore's music, different reviewers have labeled the band with each of these, as well as idiosyncratic terms such as "epic metal" or "fantasy metal". http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll Allmusic Guide
Battlelore's songs are all centered around J. R. R. Tolkien 's Middle-earth . Tolkien inspiration also includes a distinctive stage pseudo-medieval dress and make-up.
