Glass Hammer spies report that filming of the music video “MIRKWOOD” is set to begin this month at a nature preserve somewhere in the South Eastern United States.

“MIRKWOOD” is a track on their popular “Middle-earth Album”, and tells the story of a young girl who becomes hopelessly lost in the forest while chasing the sound of elves singing in the distance.

The “MIRKWOOD” piece will join a collection of Glass Hammer videos set for release in the summer of 2002. Included in this collection is “The Way To Her Heart” which premiered in rough form at DragonCon 2000, and included shots of Aragorn, Arwen and a party of Elven maidens in attendance.
