Pounding tribal drums and battle-cry horns assist this cinematic symphonic providing conjure on the spot visuals in your head as Damrod, a murderous troll, will get hungry and begins severing limbs, snapping bones and consuming meat.

Of the tune, McCreary states,
Once I first glimpsed Damrod, the murderous troll in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Energy Season Two, I knew instantly I needed to name Jens Kidman. The aggressive frontman of
Meshuggah, Jens put a searing model on ‘The Final Ballad of Damrod’ along with his blistering vocal efficiency.

Brear McCreary, “The Final Ballad of Damrod” ft. Jens Kidman (Meshuggah)
In humid mildew, Troll sits alone—
No buddy or kin to name his personal.
Troll gnaws on skins;
Uncooked shanks and shins;
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone.
His reeking dragon bone.With laughter deep and throaty groan,
He rises from his seat of stone
From darkened cave
A bloodlust crave
Set free upon the hills to roam,
Far on the hills to roam.Snap go the bones (Snap! Snap!)
Crunch go the enamel! (Crunch! Crunch!)
Troll cracking spines (Crack! Crack!)
Beneath his ft! (Crunch! Crunch!)Now the battle horn has blown,
From ultimate battle he has been proven
To darkened cave
A cold grave
He sits with coronary heart, a hardened stone.
His coronary heart of hardened stone.In humid mildew, Troll sits alone—
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone.
Troll gnaws on skins;
Uncooked shanks and shins;
No buddy or kin to name his personal.
No buddy to name his personal.Snap go the bones (Snap! Snap!)
Crunch go the enamel! (Crunch! Crunch!)
Troll cracking spines (Crack! Crack!)
Beneath his ft! (Crunch! Crunch!)Snap go the bones (Snap! Snap!)
Crunch go the enamel! (Crunch! Crunch!)
Troll cracking spines (Crack! Crack!)
Beneath his ft! (Crunch! Crunch!)Troll turns foe flesh to meat
