Few bands in the history of the heavy metal underground have a story as remarkable, improbable, or uplifting as that of CIRITH UNGOL. Formed in Ventura, California in the early 1970s, CIRITH UNGOL created a sound the world had never experienced before. Rather than passively channeling their influences, the band was driven to forge an altogether heavier, darker, more apocalyptic sound. It was obscure and arcane, mysterious and eccentric, epic and expansive, but most of all, unfailingly, bone-crushingly heavy, dark, and doom-filled.
Wasting no time to ride their molten wave they started with their 2020 studio comeback Forever Black, CIRITH UNGOL started writing songs for Dark Parade as soon as Forever Black was released. Then, like everyone else, CIRITH UNGOL were hamstrung by the global pandemic, struggling through illness, seclusion, grief, and depression in their quest to create dark, vibrant art. And like the greatest warriors, they persevered, working on one song at a time - distractions be damned. The first track composed was the crushing “Relentless,” which reinforced their confidence and clarity of vision. The rest of the album came naturally, fueled by personal misery and the tragedy of worldwide collapse.
“Band members lost close relatives and we struggled as best we could through the pandemic which ravaged the earth’s population and economies,” drummer Rob Garven notes. “As horrifying as it was, it was the perfect backdrop for our doom-laden message of a world on the edge of destruction.”
The first single from Dark Parade is opening track “Velocity (S.E.P.),” a compact, mid-paced blast of crunching riffs and deft hooks that act as a microcosm for much of the doom-laden album. “While talking with [vocalist] Tim [Baker] and Rob about what kind of song was needed, a decision was made to stop doing the galloping chugs, as done many times on previous albums, and start doing down-picking chugs while keeping some sort of tie to the CIRITH UNGOL sound,” reveals guitarist Jimmy Barraza. “Straying toward a Sabbath or Priest vibe is not far off and happens subconsciously.”
The track is about promises made and debts paid. Faust and Robert Johnson both knew what to expect on their visit to the Crossroads - great rewards and great loss. A bit of suffering in Dante’s Inferno will always remind us that the earthly pleasures we seek always come at a price. Sell your soul, take the deal, suffer the consequences.
“It’s about what happens when we sell that which we hold dear,” Baker notes. “Our soul -- if such a thing exists -- our dignity, pride, and whatever else we have that will help seal the deal in an endless pursuit of money, power, glory and dominion over others.”
01. Velocity (S.E.P)
Stretch your soul upon the rack
Flaming whips across your back
Look around - a tragic illusion
Look around - the grim conclusion, just where you are
How on earth can this be real
Sold your soul-took the deal
Did your best to do your worst…
A lake of fire but an endless thirst are all that’s all left for you
Looking down the Rings of Hell are stretching far below
Endless pain and anguish there’s so many more to go...
Everything to please your master
All you touched… disaster
Wanton greed your one temptation
Your craven life of subjugation, never set you free
Looking down the Rings of Hell are stretching far below
Endless pain and anguish there’s so many more to go...
Crying out - it’s all in vain
Every night it’s always the same
Pluck out your eyes, refusing to see
The cruel precision and velocity, were always meant for you
How on earth can this be real
Sold your soul-took the deal
Look around its no illusion
Look around - one conclusion, just where you are.
As you fall the Rings of Hell are churning Down Below
Endless pain and pleasure, there’s so many more to go…
What a story, Cirith Ungol needs a documentary!
They do here on utube, on metal school. That’s how I found out about this band
Many vocalists have gone past their prime and it shows, but Tim however still wails like a banshee all these years later. I can't wait for this album to drop! \m/ \m/
it is simple!when the disbanded he stored his vocal cords inside a timesafe!when they reformed he got them back in the same condition he had stored them!
Elric must be the most instantly recognizable classic fantasy protagonist. The white skin and red eyes, the huge obviously cursed sword--but most of all, the fact that he never wears pants.
Cirith Ungol have aged like the finest of wines
Back in 2020 they returned to plunge the world into Chaos. Now the re back to finish the deed!! Awesome song! Cirith Ungol for the win!!!
The riffs sound like a real throwback to the earliest albums, hell yeah!
Excellent song, CIRITH UNGOL never dissapoints. Blood and souls for my lord Arioch!
LONG LIVE CIRITH UNGOL FOREVER, Mне 54 слушаю их с1981 года,браво😊
My God another instant classic! Can't wait for the full lenght...
This band is a goddamned legend. Thank you for sharing 💀🍻
Cirith Ungol never disappointes .
This got me excited for October.
Cirith Ungol ages like fine wine 🤘
Wow, this sounds excellent, can't wait to hear the whole album!! 🤘🤘
When Mark Shelton of Manilla Road passed, he gave the scepter of Kings of Epic Metal to Cirith Ungol. Now it’s THEIR turn to rule as the Kings!
Yes, agreed.
Interesting story: Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol were completely unaware of each others' existence during the 80s!
@@ericv7720 Figuratively speaking.
Don’t forget about HEAVY LOAD representing Scandinavian metal.
@@ManillaHeep Full Speed at High Level!
Absolutely crushing song. Killer, killer lead work. Excellent job guys.
Another musical masterpiece by Cirith Ungol!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Tremendous stuff. How they can play heavier and harder than they did 30 years ago is beyond me - but I'm glad they can and do!
So awesome to hear new music from them. I remember owning their first few records and listening to them so many years ago. \m/!
Cirith Ungol NEVER fails!!!

Yep. The original cover for the 'Elric of Melnibone' paperback in 1972
Michael Whelan Art!

Ojalá vengan de gira por España porque escuchar sus CDs ya me sabe a poco
🌑🔥⚔🤘☠🤘⚔🔥
Fuck yes!!! 🔥
🙏
🤘⚔🤘
I actually pay for music from these guys.
Is the "Sold your soul - took the deal" line around 3:57 King Diamond? Maybe I'm just hearing things...
It's Tim. Look up "Cirith Ungol - live at Keep It True 2023" It was live streamed on April 21. They played this song first in the set, and Tim sings it that way live. It does sound very much like King Diamond though.
We’ve been around much longer!
@robertgarven4381 of course you all have, I meant no offense. I just wondered whether it was a guest spot or Tim. I know that sort of thing isn't uncommon, especially if artists share labels / admiration for one another.
Yeah he does sound like King there. Good catch.
Back to life!
Cheers 🥂

Y don't you allow comments on "King Tut Uncommon"? And what is the year you were born?
But when is the release date?
October 20th \m/
Un súper banda y está subvalorada
totalmente de acuerdo
Infravalorada
What does S.E.P. stand for?
I want one of them cirith ungol symbol t-shirt
💛🤍💛
Can't understand why they took the second guitar part from Atom smasher
Good song. As for the pandemic, it was created to destroy lives and economies. The super rich benefited greatly though. When will people finally have enough?
Great voice!,.. pity its not the same pitch as the song.
So the musicians of the band didn't notice it in order to fix it, but thank God you found out
Is it 1980 again ?... 🙄... Are they on tour with motley crue 😂
Considering they have been around since the 80s
@@ForestOfSleep Cirith Ungol has been around since 1972. They are America's first metal band
Wtf? Sirit ungol HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Meaning?
There is no meaning, either he knows what the name is about and finds it funny or he doesn't know anything and is dumb as fuck.
Не обращай внимания. Главное,что музыка отличная.👍🤘 @@mr.busticador2691
Sounds like Pantera. If they recorded in a bus station toilet.
Great
