The power of the One Ring doesn’t just rule them all — it also brings Steff back from retirement! All three Battle Bards are here today to talk about Lord of the Rings Online’s enormous Before the Shadow soundtrack. From Hobbits to swans to everything in between, our radio dial is stuck on Middle-earth for now.
Battle Bards is the world’s first, best, and only MMO music podcast. Biweekly episodes alternate between examining a single MMO’s soundtrack and exploring music tracks revolving around a theme. MOP’s Justin co-hosts with bloggers Steff and Syl. The cast is available on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, and Player.FM.
