823 - Cirith Ungol War Eternal 1986

Hard, heavy, fast and raw is the best way to describe Cirith Ungol. Two years after the release of “King of the Dead”, the American returned in 1986 with their third album “One Foot in Hell”. The “One Foot in Hell’ album saw Cirith Ungol step away from their heavy / doom metal roots and incorporate a more accessible heavy rock and speed metal into their style. The album features one of the fan favourites; “War Eternal”.

693 - Cirith Ungol King Of The Dead 1984

With their debut "Frost And Fire" (1983) they already hinted at their potential and with "King Of The Dead" (1984) they fully utilise it. For one Cirith Ungol are very slow-paced, yes doomy and quite progressive. The dark title-track "King Of The Dead" contains a set of ingenious-doomy introduction-riffs and one of the most obscure voices of all time: Tim Baker.
