Background information über 'Forever Black (5th Anniversary Edition)'

After nearly three decades of silence, legendary California heavy metal titans Cirith Ungol returned with a vengeance on "Forever Black", proving that some fires never truly die. This monumental comeback album captures everything that made the band's early 80s work so compelling - the mystical fantasy themes, crushing riffs, and Tim Baker's distinctive soaring vocals that helped define epic heavy metal. The record feels like a natural continuation of their classic trilogy, seamlessly bridging the gap between their storied past and an uncertain future with songs that are both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.

The album showcases Cirith Ungol's mastery of dramatic storytelling through metal, with tracks like "Legions Arise" and "The Fire Divine" delivering the kind of sword-and-sorcery atmosphere that made them cult legends. Producer Armand John Anthony has given the band a massive, modern sound while preserving their raw, mystical essence. From the opening battle cry of "The Call" to the epic title track closer, this is heavy metal that understands the power of both crushing heaviness and melodic grandeur.

For fans of: Manilla Road, Brocas Helm, Solitude Aeturnus, and Candlemass
