We are aware that Battalions of Orcs have played key roles in the franchise of The Lord of the Rings, and the creators behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are inclined to showcase the creatures even more due to the response it has received. Amidst the preparation, we have managed to get an exclusive first look at some of the interpretations we’ll see throughout the forthcoming series. Looking back to the series when towards Tolkien’s First Age, the Orcs were demolished nearly to the point of extinction in the War of Wrath.

The heavy sounds of Primus, one of his favorite bands, spill loudly out of the cab, where old Combos wrappers, cigarette butts, and fishing lures are strewn about.

On board, there’s about a dozen … [Read more...] about Drugs, Bluegrass, and Bass Fishing: How Billy Strings Outran His Past and Infiltrated the Mainstream
