Riders of Rohan Soundtrack Revealed via Facebook

It's official! The Lord of the Rings Online soundtrack from Warner Bros./Turbine has been revealed to the masses that, at first site, has brought players to their knees in excitement via Facebook.

The original soundtrack was full of beauty and wonder that matched perfectly what Tolkien and Peter Jackson created in their respective works of The Lord of the Rings. 

Now that we've seen it's real, when can we get a copy?! As of this writing, there is no word - yet - as to when we can get our little Hobbit hands on this precious gem. Pun TOTALLY intended.
Hopefully soon!
