Background notes
Archive material and source history
Valar formed in Birmingham, England in the early 1990s, when grunge and alternative rock were dominating the scene. They stuck with heavy metal anyway, playing local pubs and underground gigs while most critics wrote them off as a relic. Their debut album 'Death Gate Cycle' came out in 1998, and its title track became something of an anthem for metal fans who felt overlooked. That record got them on tour with bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
Their songs often draw from fantasy literature and mythology. 'Gil-Galad' and 'Rivendell 2001' reference Tolkien's Middle-earth, while 'Storm Over Krynn' pulls from Dragonlance novels. 'Tale of The King Under The Mountain, Part II (Fallen Foes)' continues in that vein. The lyrics tend toward dark, epic themes, which sometimes drew criticism. They also had a legal dispute with their former label that threatened to derail things for a while.
