ANFAUGLIR was forged by US multi-instrumentalists Lord Bauglir and Griss as an exploration in storytelling through epic symphonic Black Metal. Based upon the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the duo aim to match the source material's scope and grandeur with unique cinematic compositions which transport listeners directly to Middle-earth.

Avoiding traditional song structures, the immaculately-produced new opus "Akallabêth" - meaning ‘The Downfallen' in Adûnaic, the language of Tolkein's Númenoreans - is written and arranged in the vein of a traditional classical symphony. Themes and melodies develop, recur and transform, entwining delicately rapturous motifs with violent tragedy through the vastness of multi-layered orchestration, choral majesty, evocative chamber-work and sweeping Black Metal.
