Technically, released in '91 but sounds pretty darn '80s to me.

Also, what's the trick with getting a YouTube video's preview to show up in my post. Sorry, new here, and uneducated in these foreign metal ways.

I love Cirith Ungol, vey old school hard rock feel to it and never made it big, sort of like Witchfinder General.

Any band that can name themselves after literary awesomeness is ok by me...it helps when they have great tunes too!

SO fucking glad people know of this band. King of the Dead is another great disc by them. I own this weird best of disc by them and it has some new versions of a couple songs on it (namely Chaos Rising, Blood and Iron, and a few others). I remember when I was like 6 years old jamming these tunes with my pops hahaha.
