In the early 80's, I was not into hard rock or heavy metal, but I was into J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. That's why I was at least peripherally aware of the metal band, Cirith Ungol, which was named after a location from Tolkien's book. But, not being a metal fan, I did not dive into Ungol's music until much later.
As it turns out, Cirith Ungol formed in California in 1972, but it would be nine years before they would record their first and arguably best album, Frost and Fire. Here is the second song off of that album featuring their classic heavy metal sound.
