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

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.

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.
