The Orange Album

by Cirith Ungol

supported by

Brandon Corsair Though they'd undoubtedly go on to do better things (and even to do some better re-recordings of some of these songs!) this is a fun romp through a time when heavy metal meant something different than it does now. The best band's beginnings still shine strong even after all these years!

earth fuzzed out blues wildness with angst filled lyrics, about 5 guitars and 3 basses. Early days in the birth of the heavy genres we love... Favorite track: Neck Romancer.

Owen Great piece of history with this one.

about

The Orange Album. This is a faithful reproduction of the original 1978 cassette tape, whose name derives from the distinctive bright orange j-card. The Orange Album was the earliest recording ever circulated by the band, who passed out home-dubbed copies to drum up record company interest and line up live show bookings. This is a piece of heavy metal history, shedding light on the origins of Cirith Ungol’s sound in its embryonic, evolutionary stage and featuring four lead vocalists. After being unavailable in any format for more than four decades, The Orange Album now sees the light of day once again. Freshly remastered by Bart Gabriel but otherwise entirely true to the original release, this reissue is limited to 666 numbered cassette copies. An exclusive t-shirt and cassette bundle is available only on December 4, 2020 at the Iron Grip Bandcamp page, and single cassettes avai;lable exclusively at theheavymetalstore.com

RAVENING IRON
by Eternal Champion

supported by 120 fans who also own “The Orange Album”

Perfect entry-level trad heavy metal. This genre never clicked with me no matter who I listened to. Iron Maiden, Atlantean Kodex, you name it. I had just begun warming to Khemmis, and this might have just made me a fan. If you're like me and most traditional heavy metal does nothing for you, listen to this. You won't regret it. An epic journey, front to back. porcelainheart-

This is the ABSOLUTE return of one of the MOST IMPORTANT heavy metal bands ever! Cirith Ungol offered us everything we hoped for and even more with this release, almost 30 years after their break-up. No more words, play it loud as it should be played! BoneWalker
