GONDOLIN



BAND NAME: Gondolin
GENRE: Black Ambient / Funeral Doom
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: USA
 
Angsar currently does not identify as Christian. Ethan does. I don't know if either of them plans to continue the band someday or not. I also don't know which member is which in the photos above.

They say on last.fm that they're influenced by "Summoning, Agalloch, and Ahab". Based on the only song I can find by them ("Awakening to New Lands"), ... I guess? The song is basically like Summoning but without the guitars, and with a very, very sad/morose mood to it.

[This page] says, "Lyrical concepts focus on the majestic earth, and its Creator", while [this page] says they're influenced by Tolkien. Maybe a mix of both?
 
Ethan - Unknown
Alexander "Angsar" James - Unknown

"An Ode..." is 4:33, but it's noted on Myspace as an "edit", so the final song was probably longer.
"Awakening to New Lands" is notably 41 seconds shorter than the version on the compilation for some reason.

7:03
??) Crossing of the Open Sea 3:16
not sure if there were other songs

Way too much to list. If you have anything, let me know!
I do know 100% for a fact there's a higher-quality version of the logo out there somewhere, but I can't find it.
