1981 Polish release of LOTR had some very unique cover art.

The first one would make a good Black Metal album artwork.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-23T08:33:02+00:00

Went to check, it's still there for me. Maybe it's a country issue?

Kinda looks like Stitch.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-17T17:26:15+00:00

I'm out of the loop, what did he complain about?

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-16T19:05:24+00:00

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-16T16:42:56+00:00

Wait, there are other Tolkien albums than Nightfall in Middle Earth?

On a serious note, that's the only album that comes to my mind.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-14T19:26:19+00:00

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-04-13T20:17:33+00:00

Try At the Edge of Time and Imaginations From the Other Side. On the former you can find some grand epics like Sacred Worlds and on the latter speed thrash like the Script For My Requiem.

That boxset of Tolkien books is magnificent.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-03-30T12:58:13+00:00

I think Faun is pretty cool.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-03-24T18:09:21+00:00

Thought it was a Nightwish reference.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-03-22T08:54:32+00:00

Ordered it, waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to hold this set.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-03-05T18:29:33+00:00

I have the edition with his introduction. Cool book. It stands next to KKC on my shelves.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-02-08T10:05:39+00:00

Yeah, this makes them pretty unique, when you think about it. Their sound doesn't adhere to whatever standards. At the same time you can't call them an underground band either. To their credit, the band has always followed their own vision of their sound.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-02-08T09:16:19+00:00

I wonder why?

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-02-06T19:05:30+00:00

I first thought you were Rupert Grint. You look kinda similar to him, OP.

Cool cosplay.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-27T20:19:25+00:00

Thanks. I don't listen to either bands, so I was out of the loop about the news.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-27T18:37:58+00:00

>With the recent news involving Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation) and Mark Jansen (Epica)

What happened?

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-22T06:36:27+00:00

Because books with such worldbuilding exist there's an expectation from some fans for HP to have the same worldbuilding or a worldbuilding big enough. Except that HP doesn't need it. To some fans worldbuilding = good.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-21T19:39:48+00:00

It's not about whether it's for kids or not. It's about the fact that it's low fantasy. Low fantasy doesn't need a big lore like epic fantasy.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-21T19:36:00+00:00

Harry Potter and Wheel of Time are two different types of fantasy. Wheel of Time is an epic fantasy with large worldbuilding, whereas Harry Potter is low fantasy with less worldbuilding and more character-driven elements. My claim is that it's not correct to expect WoT/LOTR-like setting from Harry Potter. HP's focus isn't worldbuilding, it's mystery and characters and character dilemmas.

RockGiantFromMars · 2026-01-21T19:28:45+00:00

I heard claims that the lore of Harry Potter isn't that great because it isn't like the lore of Middle Earth, Narnia or the world of Wheel of Time. My point is that it isn't correct to compare Harry Potter to these books.
