4.0 out of 5 stars Cirith Ungols Best Ever, July 4, 2001

While many Ungol fans prefer their older efforts, this CD, their last, dating from 1986 is my favorite. The songs are excellent, the singing unique and the guitar work very reminiscent of Black Sabbaths Tony Iommi.

Yes, it takes some getting used to Tim Bakers screaming vocals. they are not for everyone. His singing (or lack thereof, probably hindered this band from ever getting very popular). But the vocals fit the music so well, kind of like how Udo Dirkschneiders vocals fit Accepts music.

One Foot In Hell is probably Cirith Ungols most "commercial" effort and I say that due to the catchyness of the songs. "100MPH", "War Eternal" and "Doomed Planet" are excellent pieces of music. The rest of the CD's songs are of high quality as well.

It is too bad they are not around anymore. But you can enjoy what they created. "One Foot In Hell" is Cirith Ungol at their best. Buy.

Hard, heavy, fast and raw is the best way to describe 'old' Cirith Ungol. Full of wicked lyrics and driving guitar hits, these songs are definitely for the Chaos-oriented. From Blood & Iron, to Chaos Descends, to Nadsokor (The City of Thieves from Moorcock's Elric Saga?), to 100MPH, and One Foot In Hell this album hits hard, fast and relentlessly with the deep throaty growl of Tim Baker at the lead. IF you can still find it, their follow-up album King of the Dead, with Toccata in dminor, Finger of Scorn, King of the Dead, Atom Smasher, Black Machine, Cirith Ungol, and Master of the Pit is a great compliment to the other CD and the two will make quite a compilation of all their early great stuff.
