<b><u>Comments</b></u><br>
The band's web site explains the context of their album thus: "Influenced by the Uruk-Hai and their language, the artists started the project now known as Za Frūmi. "Za shum ushatar Uglakh" is the first album from Za Frūmi and is quite different from the normal fantasy inspired albums out there. Using theatrical dialogue and spoken entirely in orcish, the album tells the tale of a clan of orcs caught in their struggle against a mighty vampire lord. A translation of the dialogue is included in the booklet, so those who do not know orcish (and most people don't) still know what is happening and what the orcs are saying as the storyline progresses." The "Orkish" tongue Za Frūmi uses appears to be influenced by the Orkish dictionary in Iron Crown Enterprises' <i><b>Empire of the Witch-king</b></i> (Charlottesville, Virginia 1989). A linguistic analysis of this invented language may be found on the Archives page of the <i><b><a target="_blank" href="http://otherhands.com">Other Hands</a></b></i> web site (Issue 3: "Scandinavian influences on Orkish")</p>
