Impact On Popular Culture
There are several musical adaptations taken from the War of Wrath:
- The power metal group Blind Guardian, in their album Nightfall in Middle-Earth (based on The Silmarillion), recorded a track in which is performed a short conversation between Morgoth and Sauron at the end of the War of Wrath. The track's name is, exactly, "War of Wrath".
- The epic/gothic metal group Battlelore, a Finnish band whose every song deals with Middle-earth, in their album Sword's Song have a track entitled "The War of Wrath". The lyrics tell the tale of Morgoth's demise.

Famous quotes containing the words impact on, impact, popular and/or culture:
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Vodka is our enemy, so let’s finish it off.”
—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
