Production and Release

Over the past 15 years The Lord of the Rings Online has continued to grow and move beyond the bounds of Eriador all the way to Mordor, along with many places in between. In that time we've made as much music as possible to give each new area a distinct feel and sound. The result has been nearly sixty hours of music to immerse you into inside of Middle-earth!

As Lord of the Rings Online celebrates its 15th Anniversary, now is a great time to release a triple album of music I've written for the game over the past five years. These are some of the tracks that I'm most proud of, encapsulating music from Legacy of the Necromancer (Update 22) through The Yondershire (Update 33); I've also included remakes of two of my earliest Cape of Belfalas tracks that we've never officially released on YouTube. I hope that they bring back fond memories of your time travelling in Middle-earth!
