are there any other metal bands that sound like them?

King of the Dead is the second album by the American heavy metal band Cirith Ungol. It was self-produced by the band and released in July 1984 on Enigma Records. It was re-released in September 1999 on Metal Blade Records. Band member Robert Garven declared in an interview: "King of the Dead was our best album, the reason was that we had total control over it. Every album could have been this good if we could have exercised complete control over its production and other things.

Where the FUCK did Cirith Ungol's King of the Dead come from? Sure, the Californian act was never your standard meat and potatoes heavy metal act, but Frost and Fire wasn't that far out of the general ballpark. Vocalist Tim Baker didn't have terribly usual heavy metal vocals, but his performance on the 1980 debut full-length was something of a Bon Scott impression (though of course Baker brought some of his own character as well), which was hardly the strangest direction to hear a vocalist take in 1980  . King of the Dead is a dark and primitive, yet also very catchy and fun, listen, but overall it doesn't provide enough innovation to really be a top class album.

King of the Dead, Cirith Ungol's second album, is actually something of a step backwards from Frost and Fire; the production sounds a little muddier, the song structures less focused, and the hooks less apparent. Hooks," of course, refers mainly to the guitar riffs, because vocalist Tim Baker still hardly ever steps out of his shrill sing-speak delivery, which listeners generally find either deliciously evil or overdone and irritatingly silly.
