3.5/5 ·
Warthur
The third Cirith Ungol album isn't as highly regarded by the band as its predecessor, and for good reason. With modern NWOBHM-ish influences creeping into their sound more than ever, the album gives the impression of a band at a crossroads - do they continue on the doomy path they'd planned out for themselves, or do they embrace newer influences and refresh their sound? Unfortunately, One Foot In Hell doesn't give the impression the band had any clear idea of which direction they wanted to go on, with the end result that it's an album that neither revitalises the band's sound nor is particularly true to their former approach. It's entertaining and enjoyable, but it's far from being a classic.
