Dawn of the Iron Shadow

North Carolina’s One Of Nine play JRR Tolkien inspired majestic black metal and are the
most prominent Tolkien / Lord Of The Rings black metal band since the legendary
Summoning. Their sophomore LP Dawn of the Iron Shadow follows their 2023 debut LP Eternal Sorcery which laid the foundation for One Of Nine trodding their way to the forefront of the new breed of US black metal. With Dawn of the Iron Shadow (which is graced by cover art courtesy of legendary Tolkien artist Ted Nasmith), they elevate their black metal sorcery to a more epic and glorious plateau. One that is more expanded in its vision of grandeur and scope through its symphonic and grandiloquent magnificence.
