Cirith Ungol vs. Led Zeppelin?

[Scourge of Malice]

How the hell can you compare Cirith Ungol with Led Zeppelin? They are nothing alike. Completely different genres. That's like comparing Bing Crosby to Deicide.

It's completely and utterly NOT like comparing Bing Crosby to Deicide.

 

[Darth Kur]

Close enough

I'm.... dreaming.... of a Caco-Daemon!

It's completely and utterly NOT like comparing Bing Crosby to Deicide.

It's more like comparing Morbid Angel to The Beatles.

More like comparing Cirith Ungol (a hard rock-ish heavy metal band) to Led Zeppelin (a heavy metal-ish hard rock band)

Have any of you shitheads ever even listened to Frost And Fire? Compare that to any of the heaviest Zeppelin, note the incredible similarities, and discover that Cirith Ungol rocks more.

From their lyrical themes (which obviously don't matter musically), the vocals, the instrumental approach and the song structures, Cirith Ungol is basically a Zeppelin on steroids that kicks ass but never meanders. Which is why they rock harder.

Truth, man. Truth.
