Review by Donna Acker

The Return of the King is an epic album that brings to life the final chapter of JRR Tolkien's legendary masterpiece. The album is a musical journey through Middle-earth, featuring sweeping orchestral arrangements, haunting vocal performances, and intricate instrumental pieces that transport listeners to the magical world of Tolkien's imagination.

The album opens with "Minas Morgul," a brooding and ominous track that sets the stage for the climactic battle that is to come. From there, the album moves through a series of emotional highs and lows, capturing the triumphs and tragedies of the story's unforgettable characters.

One of the album's standout tracks is "The Battle of Pelennor Fields," which features a thunderous percussion section and soaring brass melodies that perfectly capture the chaos and heroism of the epic battle. Another highlight is "The Grey Havens," a hauntingly beautiful track that brings the story to a poignant and bittersweet close.
