Episode #25 - The Story of Cirith Ungol - Part 1

This week's episode is part 1 of the Cirith Ungol Story. All
successful bands stand on the shoulders of giants. In Night
Demon's case, the "giants" in question include Cirith Ungol, the
Ventura, CA heavy metal pioneers whose history dates back to
1972.  You'll hear the ND guys talk about what makes Cirith
Ungol unique, how they became aware of Cirith Ungol, and how the
band was perceived in their hometown during Jarvis's formative
musical years. Members of Cirith Ungol will walk you through the
story of their formation, early gigs, struggles to find a solid
footing in the industry, reflections on their 1980s albums, and
appearance on the first Metal Massacre compilation. Much more to
come next week ...
