CIRITH UNGOL KING OF THE DEAD reviews

Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
The second Cirith Ungol album is more in tune with the doom metal sound the band is famous for, and coming out as it did in 1984 has a fair claim to being one of the foundational albums of post-Sabbath doom metal, alongside the debuts by St Vitus and Trouble which came out the same year. Whilst the adaptation of Toccata in D Minor is rather ponderous and predictable, the album as a whole is a great combination of Sabbath-esque riffs and wailing, shrieking vocals. These epic SF/fantasy songs represent some of the heaviest doom metal of the earliest 1980s and are recommended to all fans of traditional doom.
