The digital restoration team have worked their technological sorcery again to produce the beautiful piece above.
Below I’ve added an artist’s impression of a contemporary version.
The two dwarf-maidens and three dwarf-gents that comprised The Helmet Underground and Noki were the doyens of the Erebor/Dale music scene at the end of the third age.
I wonder how the band felt about making it onto the cover of the Rolling Stone? I imagine it was just as much of an honour (and career boost) as it still is today. However it looks to me that The Helmet Undergound (and Noki) were too cool to even crack a smile, or express any positive sentiment about their achievement.
Also, I can’t help but note that the dominant Dwarvish musical genres at the time appear to be Rock and Metal.
