Rivendell is an epic black metal band with folk influences from Hallwang, Austria. The solo project of Gerold Laimer (Falagar), the band was formed in 1998 under the name Fangorn and adopted its current name the same year. It takes its name from Rivendell, the hidden valley of Elrond in Middle-earth. Its 2000 debut The Ancient Glory features songs named after Nimrodel, Théoden and Aragorn.
