Trope cut per TRS.


** FaceOfTheBand is averted in a similar manner, though it probably helps that there's only two of them to remember
** Either that or because they [[TheFaceless don't do live performances]].

They released five more albums in this style: ''Minas Morgul''; ''Dol Guldur''; ''Stronghold'', which put more emphasis on more complex and melodic guitar work; ''[[LongTitle Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame]]'', the first album to feature clean vocal sections; and ''Oath Bound'', characterised by relaxed, arpeggio-style guitars.

* LongestSongGoesLast: More often than not on their full-length albums (excluding bonus tracks, anyway).
** ''Minas Morgul'' ends with "Dor Daedeloth" (10:16).
** ''Stronghold'' ends with "A Distant Flame Before the Sun" (9:43).
** ''Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame'' ends with "Farewell" (9:19).
** ''Oath Bound'' ends with "Land of the Dead" (12:50).
** ''Old Mornings Dawn'' averts this trope, but only barely, and it bears mention how close in length its four longest tracks are: its final song, "Earthshine" (9:33), is two seconds shorter than "The White Tower" (9:35); two seconds ''longer'' than "Caradhras" (9:31); and ''four'' seconds longer than the title track (9:29).
** ''With Doom We Come'' ends with "With Doom I Come" (11:17).

Added DiffLines:

** Also the track name "With Fire and Sword" [[PlayingWithATrope plays with the trope]]. It's translated directly from an extremely common Latin phrase describing scorched-earth tactics in warfare. There are several attested variants, including ''igni ferroque'', ''ferro ignique'', ''ferro flammaque'', ''ferro atque igni'', ''igni atque ferro'', ''ferro atque flamma'', ''flamma atque ferro''... you get the idea.

* GratuitousLatin: "Flammifer" literally means ''flame-bearing'' (derived from the root ''flamma'', ''flame'', and the suffix ''-fer'', ''bearing''), though it may also be translated as ''burning'' or ''fiery''. It is, of course, taken from Tolkien; it is a term Bilbo Baggins used to describe Eärendil the Mariner. Tolkien may have employed it to avoid using the more familiar term ''lucifer'', which in fact literally translates as ''light-bearer'' (and was originally associated with the planet Venus and the Morning and Evening Stars, as Eärendil himself is associated with the latter two).

Only "The Darkening of Valinor", at a mere four minutes long, doesn't qualify[[/note]])
