Meshuggah’s Jens Kidman will be appearing on a new song from season two of the Amazon Original Series “The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power.” The track, which is titled “The Last Ballad of Damrod,” was composed by Bear McCreary and it will be available on August 8.
McCreary commented:
“When I first glimpsed Damrod, the murderous troll in ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’ season two, I knew immediately I had to call Jens Kidman. The aggressive frontman of Meshuggah, Jens put a searing brand on ‘The Last Ballad Of Damrod’ with his blistering vocal performance.
I am exhilarated to team up with Roadrunner Records, home to some of my favorite bands of all time like Gojira and Slipknot, to bring our song to the world.
My collaboration with Jens, alongside virtuoso drummer Gene Hoglan, on ‘The Last Ballad Of Damrod’, offers an introduction to my exploration of the darker recesses of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium and sets the stage for the rest of the sweeping score to come.”
“The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power (Season Two: Amazon Original Series Soundtrack)” will be released worldwide on August 23. Following each episode, Amazon Music will also release a weekly soundtrack featuring the score. The show’s second season will debut on August 29.
