CIRITH UNGOL live album/DVD, 'I'm Alive' out Oct 25th.



We have a live album coming out on Metal Blade Records.
It was recorded at Keep It True, Up The Hammers and at Hammer Of Doom.
It'll be out late 2018. Robert Garven

And yes, Michael Whelan will be doing the artwork!
Further details in this interview conducted with Garven & Tim Baker by Rock Hard Megazine:

Supposed live album recorded in 2018 and released in 2019?

No no, way back to 1983:
"In the future, we may have a custom cover done by Michael Whelan for a “live” album like Dragonslayer."

Robert Garven, Heavy Metal Times 1983

At least it was 1983, and now is finally here (36 years!): I'm Alive 2019

Got this today, highly recommended.
2 live CDs featuring their complete set from Up The Hammers 2017 & extra tracks from Hammer Of Doom 2017 plus 2 DVDs featuring 3 complete gigs (Up The Hammers 2017, Hammer Of Doom 2017 & Rock Hard 2018), & a 2 hour documentary about the bands career.
Now that's value for money.
Amazingly, the band may somehow actually be better now than they were back in the day.
Other bands please take note, this is how you do a reunion right.



EDIT:
Just watched the portion of the DVD with the complete set from Up The Hammers & it's an extraordinary show with an incredible crowd cheering the band on & singing every lyric & melody back to the band & generally going bananas. The DVD really captures the celebratory atmosphere.
So many highlights to choose from, but the performance of the 'Paradise Lost' trilogy (Chaos Rising/Fallen Idols/Paradise Lost) is simply jaw dropping.
Transcendent stuff. Goosebumps a-go-go!
