From the shadowed vales of Brethil, ONE OF NINE unveils their hymn “Dreadful Leap," a glimpse into their forthcoming epic, 'Dawn of the Iron Shadow,' to be released on October 31 through Profound Lore Records. Rooted in the tale of Túrin son of Húrin and the bitter fate of Nienor, the song rises as a lament of doom and grief, its sorrowful voice joined with the presence of HULDER as the Tear Maiden. Listen to the bards play their tune HERE.

One of Nine says,

"The page turns, and old sorceries die.

Túrin, son of Húrin, has struck dead Glaurung, the dread worm!

And in such bitter triumph the doom of his house is revealed as the golden veil upon Nienor’s mind is forever lifted.

Thus do we, the Nine, lift our voices in the retelling, to proffer a glimpse upon the 'Dawn of the Iron Shadow.'

'Dreadful Leap' is unveiled, and its echo now resounds in every hall."

'Dawn of the Iron Shadow' can be pre-ordered HERE.

The cover artwork was carefully wrought by the hand of Ted Nasmith, a craftsman of no small renown who is the illustrator of J. R. R. Tolkien's works 'The Lord of the Rings,' 'Unfinished Tales,' and 'The Silmarillion.'
