He seems like a nice fellow.
Cirith Ungol is one of those bands like
Scorpions,
Accept,
Twisted Sister,
Vixen, etc., where I forget just how far back they actually go - nearly to the very beginning. You can hear that if you're listening (that big laundry list of bands he lists in the interview becomes obvious, going back to compare again), but it's easy to overlook because of how often they're associated with a later generation and how well they fit in with the
Manilla Road/
Angel Witch/
Omen/etc. crowd.
I had the pleasure of seeing part of a
Cirith Ungol set at Days of Darkness a few years ago. I was too tired to stay for the whole thing after a day-long festival, but they were really good. I'm glad I got that chance. It's been a while since I listened to one of their albums in full, so I think I'm due.
