Battlelore, the self-proclaimed "Arctic FantasyMetal" band, forned in 1999, with a demo recorded a year later winning the band a contract with Napalm Records.
Visually and lyrically, the band is heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien, while musically their style is a fairly original blend of gothic metal (particularly the well-balanced male growl vs. clean female vocals), traditional metal, and some keyboard flourishes that are catchy yet not overtly commercial-sounding.
Though these styles may not sound that unique, Battlelore somehow manages to sound relatively different than most bands with similar styles, and for that alone they deserve recognition.
In the year 2000 Battlelore had a complete set of new songs and they recorded "Dark Fantasy", their second promotional CD at Music-Bros Studios, Imatra, and made it with time and care.
Battlelore's first DVD "The Journey" - featuring the energetic live show at Tavastia club - saw the daylight in the beginning of 2004 and it lead the band to even greater success than before.
His last performance with Battlelore was the magnificent headlining show at RingCon, the official Lord of the Rings Festival in Germany, Bonn.
