In the Battle of the Five Armies Azog sends his spawn Bolg to summon the orcish hordes from the ancient stronghold of their kind at Mount Gundabad in the North. For this army and its threat Shore composes a portentous, compact and brutal melodic line that first lurches forward with staccato determination and then leaps ever higher in attempt to overcome its opposing music through the sheer volume and ferocious drive. It is accompanied by strong marching rhythm that further enhances the relentless single-minded drive the theme has. The composer gives his music for these new kind of orcs another additional instrumental colour as a whole ensemble of the Australian didgeridoos add their throaty hollow cries to this steely call to war.
