Cirith Ungol - Live at Wacken Open Air 2022

[@JSmithski]

One of the most underrated and powerful metal bands in the history. Join the Legion!

[@johnstrika9170]

I should be ashamed of myself. I've called myself a metal fan nearly my whole life(55 years old) and while I heard of Cirith Ungol, I never heard them. Man, did I miss out alot.

[@Lordestroyer]

Better late than never! Now you’re coming “100 mph!”

[@rodrigorojas9565]

Never late when discovering heavy metal bands

[@Freawulf]

Same here, for some reason. A metalhead since my teens (1988) but never actually had a chance to give them a proper try... 🤔

[@bowlochili]

They came up as a suggestion on Apple Music while driving home with my son from Boston. I could not believe that I have never heard of them before. Cool album covers

[@LouisWinthorpe622]

Me too on all counts. I'm currently enjoying Dark Parade, have Forever Black on order and intend to catch up on their back catalogue in reverse order. I saw a woman, who is a huge fan, reviewing Dark Parade on KZbin and she said, during the review, that, sadly, the band has stated that they no longer intend to play live. That and the whole pandemic bullshit, just after releasing Forever Black, hit their touring intentions, their ability to promote the album and the album sales and their finances and ability to continue on, pretty bad. She also hinted it was a possibility that there might not, even, be any new albums after Dark Parade but if that was to be their swansong, it would really be going out on a high. Quite shite, eh? I hope they record more albums because I'm loving Dark Parade and feel quite stupid for not cottoning on to them, until now.

[@adam_czarny]

When I discovered them, they were disbanded. It warms my heart that they still play live, and at Wacken, mind you.

[@thewal1ofsleep]

They reunited in 2015, put out an incredible full length in 2015 and an excellent EP in 2021. It's been awesome to see them getting the respect they deserve, and I can't believe they still sound so good.

[@mushroomjesus2068]

I'm seeing their last tour tonight during a live wrestling match 😎

[@jedimind_79]

They played Psych Las Vegas in 2021 and 2022, I actually discovered them at 2021. I bit embarrassed to admit I was a 44 year old metal head and had never heard of them. It's a shame they aren't super well known, I would put them up there with the likes of Judas Priest, Merciful Fate and a ton of legendary metal acts.

[@PatrickMPlaysDrums]

proof you are never to old to rock out! 🤘🤘 love this!

[@Slayer_of_Bacon]

I fucking love Cirith Ungol, 40 years and counting....the Chaos Gods laughed, beware the wrath of mortals Elric said and the multi-verse quivered........

[@Atmost11]

Always intensify and increase your love and devotion for Cirith Ungol buy albums buy T-shirts preach to the masses

[@hrvojebubic515]

I 100% agree with you

[@MrRictusgrin]

Goddamn, after all these years "Black Machine" still gets me pumped!

[@MRRIllustrations]

Wow - So awesome to see Cirith Ungol back! Loved them back in the day, and they sound even heavier now. This is an 80's metal head's dream come true.

[@noellander9318]

So proud of my CU boys lml. Join the Legion baby!

[@jonathanergueta]

Tim Baker vocalist has the most unique vocals I’ve ever heard. A 2.0 version of Rob Halford.

[@railander]

Shame on me for never listening to these guys before. As soon as he started to sing, it reminded me of an evil version of Rob Halford.

[@Dexusaz]

Not similar to Rob Halford at all lol

[@shenmuelandlord]

​@@Dexusaz yeah he sounds more like rich evans

[@Jakelyn7133]

I'm a Ungol fan since the 80's.

[@Lordestroyer]

Yea, come on, join the legion!

[@None_More_Metal]

Aside from the idiot crew member or whoever that was blabbing on an open mic during Black Machine, this was a kick ass show.

[@jonahcombs451]

Man, I just found out about the band, And they're from my Hometown. And they f****** rock. They are right up my alley. Hopefully, I will meet some of these guys someday.

[@bardoface]

Tim Baker deserves to better known. He’s a legend metal vocalist God in my book.

[@alanbbrady8196]

I used to go to 23rd Precinct in Glasgow in my youth where they specialised in obscura and thrash / speed / power Metal. I was always fascinated by Cirith Ungols' fantastic album covers. Great, relentless Rock too!

[@garyhines6767]

I had a sealed original copy of frost & Fire on their label not metal Blade label they signed shortly after. That Copy was around $750 .00

[@DanSpengler]

Wow, cannot believe these guys sound as good as they do after so many years. A decade ago I saw bands from the 90s that were totally shot, and these guys are still killing it. I picked up their first album sometime in the late 90s based solely on the awesome cover art and still love their records.

[@hodslate2582]

Wow these guys still slay after all these years

[@michaelivener5932]

Saw them when they played at the country club in Reseda California in the early 80's kick ass concert

[@nathaninostroza7655]

Hi there. Is that Ungol gig in reseda from KZbin, audio only; the one you're reffering to? Either way, i'm envy of such riveting time You ve had with Cirith Ungol. Stay well bro. Long live Ungol.

[@jailetcher]

I have the video that my buddy shot.

[@vanmahler6282]

Like wine through time, epic!!!!

[@blackblackblackone]

ONE OF THE BEST EVER

[@gregorioribeirojr]

Cirith Ungol is one of my favorite bands! And it sounds better with two guitars!

[@kingghidorah6762]

Geiler Auftritt mit dem miesesten Sound den ich je auf einem Festival / Konzert erleben musste ... Meine Frau und ich mussten irgendwann echt Lachen ... der braune Ton lässt grüßen 😅 Egal, Cirith sind die Macht !!! und die Songs sollte man eh auswendig kennen 😁👍 Grüße an alle die da waren 🤘🤘🤘 P.S. der erste Tag war nur Legende Cirith Ungol, Grave Digger, Dirkschneider, Mercyful Fate, und PRIEST 🔥🔥🔥 So muss Metal !!!

[@oliversaudny8616]

Schade das es nicht mehr Leute gibt die das so sehen, ich hab Cirith Ungol kennengelernt und ich finde alle Lp's von ihnen extrem gut. Wenn man sieht was heute so unter HM läuft und Erfolg hat fragt man sich was mit den Leuten los ist. OK,Geschmäcker sind verschieden was ja gut ist aber gerade Cirith Ungol hätten viel mehr Erfolg verdient. Join the Legion.

[@kingghidorah6762]

@@oliversaudny8616 Ich Frage mich stellenweise echt wie wir zu der musikalischen Kultur von heute gekommen sind, bei dem Erbe das Bands wie Cirith, Manilla Road, Angel Witch, Satan ...usw hinterlassen haben. Wenn Bands/Musiker mit solchem Format die Bühnen für immer verlassen haben, bleibt uns nicht mehr viel. Die Bands von heute in allen Ehren, aber keiner hat mehr den Mut von seiner Formel abzuweichen, wenn die ersten Erfolge erzielt sind. In Wacken kann man gut erkennen wohin der Weg noch führen wird, die Substanz ist längst abgetragen. Egal, when Maiden and PRIEST are gone don't fear - RAM is still here !!! 🔥🔥🔥

Jim s phucking killing it. A true pity Jerry didnt trusted on the boys idea of him with Jim playing so Jerry could concentrate on his leads. The whole band s doing the impossible right here. Some of Jerry s vibe and sound ovahere.

I would have liked more live solo bass on Frost and Fire, like on the recording.

Man, Wacken is such a legendary event but it has had the absolute worst crowds for like 10 years now

[@GuitarsZnuff]

Never got into this band. Mostly due to the drumming. I get it's their style, but it sounds off.

[@Atmost11]

You have done the right thing by admitting this to us. I will listen to a Cirith Ungol song for you.

[@ericv7720]

Cirith Ungol is not for everybody. They are the Bacardi 151 of bands!

[@MaybeHarvey]

What is that annoying talking that drowns out the vocals in the first part of the black machine

[@Sypholux]

WTF is that noise going on over the song....
