glad to a have a new rank them all, maybe do Skyclad ?

[@Anderson_Araujo666]

Band suggestion for the next Rank Em' All video: MANILLA ROAD

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

would be something, it just takes forever with these huge discographies. :)

[@vladimircokorilo8105]

Cirith Ungol has been one of my favorite heavy metal bands for some time now. It’s probably one of the few bands I can’t get tired of, plus their discography never had a weak entry. It’s sad to see them go, but nevertheless, they will definitely go out with a bang! Thank you Ruthless 🤘

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yeah same here, some classics I never put on but Cirith Ungol is one of those bands worth returning to. 🤘🏼

[@metalhead7319]

One of the best, unique and most underrated metal bands of all time, and they never released a bad album just masterpieces.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

for sure!

[@FutebolNaMente]

Nice video, I need to pay more attention to this band. No more "From The Vault" videos? It's always good to see gems from someone's collection! 😂

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

we'll see, I've moved a few things in my appartment and my vinyls are a bit out of reach right now. plus nobody watched the first vid. haha, we'll see, maybe some day. no stress. :D

[@zyksyf6118]

This list was definitely encouraging to listen to the rest of their stuff, as I wasn't sure if I should after "Frost and Fire". So it arrived at a perfect time, at least for me.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yeah, all of their albums are great. cheers!

[@BanjoSick]

The bass on King of the Dead is just great. Black Machine is one of my all time favorites!!!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

classic stuff!

[@guilhermeptp3954]

Incredible and underrated band. They have one of the most diverse and imaginative sound in metal milieu. King of the dead is probably my favorite album of the band. And i love the inspiration in the elric saga mythology. By the way, it is possible a rank of the manilla* road albums?

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yes, indeed! No I would never rank Vanilla Road but perhaps a band with a similar name. ;) haha

[@guilhermeptp3954]

@@RuthlessMetalYTlol 😂 the corrector is pranking on me! Manilla Road* hahaha Cheers!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

haha. ;) Cheers!

[@tuberocker69]

I just noticed I didn't have any Cirith Ungol in my vinyl collection and decided to check and see if anyone even remembered who they were... Of course, Ruthless Metal never disappoints and this ranking is spot on! Cheers 🤘

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

thanks boss!

[@WinterInTheForest]

It took a long time for me to discover this band but I fell in love with their music and the entire discography. They just don't get the respect they deserve.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I fully agree. cheers

[@ronaldvanoosterbos7141]

GREAT Video! I totally agree with the ranking!!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

thanks boss!

[@BastardMetal]

Great vid. I never listened to them growing up only discovered them from King Fowley of Deceased. Since that time I've managed to see them twice and I'm seeing them again at Keep It True Rising this October 🤘

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Nice, have fun! 🤘

[@andikampfer8695]

Thank you bro for your great videos.

[@xhannesx8881]

Hell yeah, I've have looking forward to this rank! Real Epic metal

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

thx, cheers! 🤘

[@TeaCup1987]

Thank you a LOT! I was looking for some new music to listen to and I found it! I really like One Foot in Hell.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Nice, you just disvovered one of the best bands on earth then.

[@craigamorosi6880]

I think I've watched (and enjoyed!) all of your ranking videos and I think this is the first time I've ever 100% agreed with you on a ranking. : ) I particularly agree about the greatness of Paradise Lost and think more people need to give this album another shot. It's amazing that the album came out the same year as Nirvana's Nevermind and eschewed modern sounds so completely. Cirith Ungol had a distinct vision and a distinct sound and they stuck to it, never once bowing to trends. Keep up the great work!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

thanks man! Cheers!

[@thalesvasconcellos2086]

Nice one man! Keep it up and stay heavy!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

thanks boss! cheers!

[@aaroncoroner5915]

I was one of those people who never even Heard of Cirith Ungol back in the day, it was only back a while ago when Metal Blade began rereleasing their Debut and then the band reunited and released Forever Black that I finally got to hear them. Instant fan, bought Forever Black and Frost and Fire first, then King of the Dead, One Foot in Hell and Paradise Lost next, and now the new one. Problem is, they ALL Kick Ass! Paradise Lost is my Least favorite, and when I feel like listening to CU, I go to Frost and Fire more often, throw the rest in a blender, they're all equally great. The E.P. Half Past Human is a great Listen too.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

cool, I think I got to know them through that metal massacre album, not upon release but in the 90's.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

Brilliant band, enjoy all 6 albums. My ranking : 1. King Of The Dead 2. Frost And Fire 3. One Foot In Hell 4. Dark Parade 5. Forever Black 6. Paradise Lost

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

nice one! Cheers!

[@fdevlin5932]

I love all your ranking videos but enjoyed this one particularly. I remember seeing their 80s album covers in the record stores and being fascinated by them, but I always ended buying thrash records instead. Good times. Finally checked them out when a fried loaned me that CD with the first 2 albums on it in the late 90s and I was blown away. They’re one of the great metal bands, wholly unique, highly recommend to any fan of any kind of metal.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

cheers!

[@dieterkurek6381]

Great band! But i needed time to like them. In the 80ies two friends of mine heard a lot of Cirith Ungol, but i was not really into it. Ca 10 years ago i had another try. And i understood what my friends liked about the band. In the meantime i bought all of their records and hope that i can see them live on stage before they retire.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

cheers! 🤘

[@petegreenfield3645]

Their latest album is my favourite, I thought it was a big improvement on Forever Black. I like the band but I have to be in the mood for their vibe.
