all Shall Fade

Is it actually a surprise that I am a huge LOTR/Tolkien nerd? I went to see 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and there it was, the trailer for 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'. Apart from the stunning 3D in the movie, the best part of it was the fact that they used Pippin's song as background music! I LOVE that song. Simple, effectively emotional (brings a lump in my throat and a few tears every time) and masterfully orchestrated. Irritating table manners by Lord Denethor adds to the melancholy nature of the song. For those who don't remember this (I am up for a LOTR marathon of preferably the extended cut anytime you are ready), here is that song:

I took this and decided to ruin it in exactly two ways

1) Sing the song myself (I went to a Karaoke session last weekend and singing Creed and Linkin Park has boosted my ego a bit. I did totally screw up a Tool's Sober' though)

2) Metallize the song a little (I mean everything \m/ is awesome right?)

So here you go, my version of Pippin's song 'All Shall Fade',

USE HEADPHONES/EAR BUDS FOR THE BEST QUALITY.
