Reissue on black vinyl with poster and a 12-page booklet

King of the Dead, Cirith Ungol´s second album, is actuallysomething of a step backwards from Frost and Fire; the productionsounds a little muddier, the song structures less focused, and thehooks less apparent. "Hooks," of course, refers mainly to theguitar riffs, because vocalist Tim Baker still hardly ever stepsout of his shrill sing-speak delivery, which listeners generallyfind either deliciously evil or overdone and irritatingly silly.Cirith Ungol is actually a pretty ambitious band, but they´re alsosomewhat amateurish and cartoonishly over-the-top. Those aren´tnecessarily reasons to dismiss their music, since bands like Venomand Celtic Frost — who were generally critically reviled duringtheir existence — actually planted the seeds of the death metalrevolution; however, Cirith Ungol doesn´t have Venom´s extremity orCeltic Frost´s restless experimentation going for them, and theydon´t have the songwriting chops to make up for those deficiencies.It´s apparent on King of the Dead that Cirith Ungol had a greatdeal of potential, but they don´t bring it together here. 1999 cdrelease with one bonus track
