Background information about 'Frost And Fire (40th Anniversary Edition)'

Four decades after its initial release, Cirith Ungol's legendary debut "Frost And Fire" returns in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled. This isn't just a reissue – it's a complete archaeological dig into one of heavy metal's most influential yet underappreciated masterpieces. The California quintet crafted something truly special in 1981, blending Tolkien-inspired fantasy with crushing riffs that would influence generations of metal warriors. Tim Baker's soaring vocals cut through Greg Lindstrom's thunderous guitar work like a battle cry from Middle-earth itself.

This 40th Anniversary Edition pulls back the curtain on the album's creation with 14 previously unreleased demo tracks spanning from 1977 to 1980, revealing how these epic compositions evolved. The radio interviews capture the band's raw passion during their early years, while the remastered audio brings new life to classics like "Edge Of A Knife" and the title track. The frost blue and fire orange marbled vinyl perfectly captures the album's elemental power, housed in a museum-quality artbook that metal historians will treasure.

Manilla Road, Brocas Helm, Pagan Altar, Solitude Aeturnus, Candlemass
