Background information about 'King Of The Dead - Ultimate Edition'

When Cirith Ungol unleashed "King Of The Dead" back in 1984, they carved their name into the bedrock of American heavy metal history. This Ultimate Edition breathes new life into what many consider the band's magnum opus, showcasing the raw power and mystical darkness that made these Californian metalheads legends in the underground scene. The album opens with the crushing "Atom Smasher" and builds momentum through epic tracks like the title cut and "Master Of The Pit", each song dripping with that distinctive blend of doom-laden riffs and soaring vocals that became their trademark.

The bonus material here is absolutely essential for any serious metal collector. You get five additional tracks including alternate versions and the legendary "Death Of The Sun" from the Metal Massacre compilation that helped launch countless metal careers. The accompanying DVD captures the band's raw energy in live performance, proving that Cirith Ungol's stage presence was just as commanding as their studio work. This isn't just a reissue - it's a complete document of one of metal's most underrated yet influential acts.
