Review by Flavio Pedretti

T3h Bridge Of Khazad Dum: Nick Bertke’s Drum ‘n’ Bass Epic That’ll Make You Forget Middle-earth Let’s cut to the chase—Nick Bertke’s T3h Bridge Of Khazad Dum isn’t just an album; it’s a caffeine-fueled adrenaline shot for your ears. Released back in 2006 (yeah, that’s right, over a decade ago), this self-released gem is pure Drum ‘n’ Bass wizardry. And no, I’m not just saying that because I’ve run out of synonyms for “awesome.” Bertke doesn’t just make music—he builds sonic bridges you didn’t even know needed crossing. First off, let’s talk about the title track, T3h Bridge Of Khazad-Dum. It kicks off like someone hit play on Gandalf fighting a Balrog while spinning records at a rave. The beats are relentless, the basslines slap harder than your mom when you borrow her car without asking, and there’s this glitchy chaos running through it all that feels oddly… cinematic? Like yeah, sure, Tolkien probably didn’t have breakbeats in mind when he wrote about dwarves and fiery chasms, but after hearing this track, you’ll wonder why not. Every time I hear it, I picture myself dodging orcs and dodging responsibilities simultaneously—it’s escapism with a side of existential dread. Another standout has gotta be… well, okay, fine, there’s only one other track listed here, so we’ll roll with that. But honestly? That’s part of the charm. This album doesn’t waste time throwing fifty tracks at you. Instead, it focuses on quality over quantity, which is refreshing in an era where playlists are longer than my grocery list but half as satisfying. The second tune keeps the energy high, layering intricate rhythms that feel like they’re rewiring your brain stem. It’s less “background music” and more “oh crap, I think my heart rate just synced up with the BPM.” And can we take a moment to appreciate the artwork? Also done by Bertke himself, it perfectly matches the vibe: dark, edgy, and kinda nerdy-cool. If Lord of the Rings had a rave scene, this cover would totally be plastered across the walls of Moria. So yeah, T3h Bridge Of Khazad Dum might fly under the radar for some folks, but trust me, it deserves a spot in your collection—or at least a spin during your next late-night coding session/angsty journaling fest/existential crisis. Listening to it feels like discovering a secret passage in a dungeon—you know it was worth finding, even if you’re not entirely sure what you’ve stumbled into. Final thought: If Nick Bertke ever decides to remix the entire LOTR soundtrack, I will personally fund it via crowdfunding. Until then, crank this album up loud enough to annoy your neighbors—it’s basically required listening for anyone who loves their beats fast and their basslines faster. Oh, and maybe grab some snacks beforehand. You won’t wanna pause once it starts.
