Background information about 'Half Past Human'

Cirith Ungol strikes back with devastating force on "Half Past Human", a four-track assault that proves these California metal legends haven't lost an ounce of their ferocious edge. This EP serves as a bridge between their triumphant comeback album "Forever Black" and their relentless touring cycle, showcasing the band's ability to craft both crushing anthems and intricate compositions that honor their rich legacy while pushing boldly into new territory.

The opening salvo "Route 666" immediately establishes the band's intent with its thunderous riffs and Tim Baker's soaring vocals, while "Shelob's Lair" pays homage to their Tolkien-inspired roots with epic storytelling wrapped in crushing metal fury. "Brutish Manchild" delivers exactly what its title promises – a savage, uncompromising track that showcases the rhythm section's devastating power, before the title track "Half Past Human" closes the proceedings with a haunting meditation on humanity's darker impulses, featuring some of the band's most sophisticated songwriting to date.

Manilla Road, Brocas Helm, Pagan Altar, Atlantean Kodex, Visigoth
