Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead (Ultimate Edition) (FULL ALBUM)

[@BillRiccio]

King of the Dead is the second album by the American heavy metal band Cirith Ungol. It was self-produced by the band and released in July 1984 on Enigma Records.

[@virvum_cypher]

There are a surprising amount of people who think this is a new album. Learn your classics, people!

[@hansele666]

probably the same amount of ppl think this has nothing to do with The lord of the rings :D

It is new if you haven't heard it before.

[@CharlesWilliams-tm7tx]

It's just a memory of good times

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Much credit to Metal Blade for putting this up here.

[@rememberbeginning]

Brian Slagel! Not only is he the founder, he's also a fan of great metal!

[@LaughingCadaverFilms]

My band had the good fortune to perform at a venue with with Dio, Iron Maiden, King diamond, Anthrax and Metallica back in 86 in Stockholm......they were awesome....this brings back a lot of good memories.....good guys........had so much fun !!!

[@kaliyuga4312]

Cirith Ungol is better than all of those bands (equal to King Diamond, though)

[@JackieNihil]

Classic metal masterpiece. The bass absolutely cooks throughout, as if it was summoned through a witch's death brew from a massive cauldron. Totally unique.

[@ramoncardona4651]

My favorite. Love everything about it. There is no band better than Cirith Ungol

[@VIPER03100]

What a band...WHAT A BAND !!!

[@maksphoto78]

Indubitably.

[@johnnytoxrox9066]

They definitely had their own sound. Great band.

[@bhpinball]

Forget about singing in any traditional sense, Tim Baker's just going for that PURE METAL FEELING

[@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902]

@@bhpinball One thing I needed when I heard this album for the first time many years ago was to get use to the vocal which I didn't like at the beginning. But it went quite fast because all the rest was so good that soon afterwards I couldn't imagine this album with any other vocal:)

[@franklintonietti753]

, This one of a kind album is so fuckin amazing, So Fucking Original so Fuckin Awesome nothing else like it The guitar work of Jerry Fogel on this is beyond excellence and Tim Baker's vocal attack is so fuckin obscure the perfect fit for this album

This album made me pick Up Guitar and change my style from heavy metal to TRUE HEAVY METAL!

*DOOM METAL* , this is *DOOM METAL* damn it!!

[@localcrisis]

@@undisputedattitude2902 cirith ungol is doom metal AND true heavy metal

[@necrosadotor]

@@undisputedattitude2902 yeah, like doom metal wasn't heavy lol

[@jansburiak94]

Fucking amazing album. It's cheesy as hell and so over the top but it's not a problem since that's the way it should be. Might be not everyone's cup of tea because of the vocals (I didn't like them at first) but once it grows on you it's the greatest thing. I love this.

[@maksphoto78]

Man this is awesome doom!

[@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902]

You are utterly right. One thing I needed when I heard this album for the first time many years ago was to get use to the vocal which I didn't like at the beginning. But it went quite fast because all the rest was so good that soon afterwards I couldn't imagine this album with any other vocal:)

[@HiddenFormula]

Probably the best album artwork I've seen!

[@mikejacon6037]

The 21 people that gave a thumbs down probably listen to Winger... Lol! True metal at its finest!

[@MrToband]

I'm glad not many people know about this, just like Metallica in the early 80s, no radio play or MTV, the way heavy metal should be.

[@dandylion188]

Proto-power metal, proto-prog metal, proto-doom metal; these guys invented more stuff than Edison!

[@metalhawk66]

oh Gosh the live version of Master Of The Pit is really evil!! i fuckin love it!!!

[@jerg6195]

1984. The most influential year for metal that has ever existed.

[@NevetsTSmith]

It's a big one for sure. This, Ride the Lightning, Death and Possessed releasing their first demos, Bathory's first album.

giving this album another shot

[@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902]

It's certainly worth it. One thing I needed when I heard this album for the first time many years ago was to get use to the vocal which I didn't like at the beginning. But it went quite fast because all the rest was so good that soon afterwards I couldn't imagine this album with any other vocal:)

[@miltoncardinallijr.6495]

Finger of scorn,,,I dig this one...the lyrics are a sad warning of the power of evil in our planet...my favorite track...but the entire album is a masterpiece

[@davidstewart3282]

[@mulleinroots]

anyone care to share fantasy authors that inspire them? this album really evokes Elric, Conan etc. That's what i've read but wondering what else may have inspired it...probally Tolkien of course...

[@alexandreduraffourg4027]

Can't say if it inspired them or not, but the adventures of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser by Fritz Leiber absolutely fit in there.

[@maksphoto78]

I'd say definitely Tolkien. Cirith Ungol was a path to Mordor in "The Lord of the Rings".

[@antoniusmetal]

Michael Moorcock.
