The ARDA band

[Strovar]

Spring has come, the spring mood is felt everywhere, so let's meet it with dignity!

22th of April "Arda" will debut on the wonderful event - Dwarves' Night Out, previously I performed there only in solo/duo.

Server - Laurelin
Time - 2:30pm servertime
Venue - Thorin's Gate, Frerin's Court, near the statue


At this event, we will play almost only new songs, consisting of heavy-metal, folk metal and symphonic metal, + two very cheerful compositions from the classical old rock.

For a long time, before the fiddles was added in game, I wanted to make a version of Nemo, but without the fiddles i didn't have a good symphonic sound.
