Cirith Ungol is a heavy metal band hailing from Ventura, California. Formed in 1971 by Robert W. Garven Jr., Jerry Fogle (R.I.P.), and Greg Lindstrom, the band played their first live show in February of that year. After breaking up in May 1992, they reunited at the second annual Frost and Fire Festival in October 2016 with Tim Baker, Robert Garven, Jim Barraza, and Greg Lindstrom.

The name Cirith Ungol comes from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth language and translates to "pass of the spider." Known for their unique sound and powerful performances, Cirith Ungol has become an influential force within the heavy metal genre.

With a discography spanning several decades, Cirith Ungol has left a lasting impact on the music scene. Their style can be compared to similar artists such as Manilla Road, Omen, Witchfinder General, Brocas Helm, and many others.

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Frost And Fire, the groundbreaking album where the legend and lore of Cirith Ungol began. The fabled kings of the dead are celebrating this momentous occasion with a special, multi-format deluxe reissue of Frost And Fire via Metal Blade Records. You may know the tales that speak of frost and fire, but you’ve never heard them quite like this. In 1981, a little-known visionary quartet known as Cirith Ungol released their self-financed debut, Frost And Fire, via their own Liquid Flames Records imprint. In that unassuming moment, the course of heavy metal history changed forever. You see, the world had never experienced a sound quite like Frost And Fire before. It was mystical and obscure, epic and expansive, but most of all bone-crushingly heavy, dark and doom-laden.For all its primitive and primordial qualities, Frost And Fire is also timeless, as earthshaking tracks like “I’m Alive” and the thunderous title cut remain cornerstones of the Cirith Ungol canon to this day.
