ANFAUGLIR returns in triumphant form with Akallabêth—a sweeping, symphonic Black Metal concept album inspired by the legendary works of J.R.R. Tolkien. This long-awaited new opus marks the rebirth of the cult project originally active from 2004 to 2010. ANFAUGLIR now resurfaces with an ambitious and emotive full-length that transcends traditional genre boundaries. Akallabêth (meaning “The Downfallen” in the Númenórean tongue of Adûnaic) abandons conventional song structures in favour of classical symphonic architecture, creating a deeply immersive listening experience that unfolds like a mythic saga. Set in the Second Age of Arda, Akallabêth narrates the epic rise and tragic fall of Númenor, the island kingdom of Men blessed by the Valar. Drawing on The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, the album guides listeners through over 3000 years of glory, hubris, and eventual catastrophe—brought to life with multi-layered orchestration, choral grandeur, and sweeping Black Metal aggression. Expect haunting chamber passages, cinematic melodies, and rapturous yet violent crescendos that reflect the grandeur and doom of Tolkien’s mythos. For fans of Summoning, Caladan Brood, Emperor, and Carach Angren, ANFAUGLIR delivers a truly epic metal journey through Middle-earth—elegiac, immersive, and unforgettable.
