52 years of existence with its high points in the 80s, and after a 21-year hiatus the band returns to recording albums. The previous one is very good and this one absolutely top notch, high quality epic metal!

Dark Parade is indeed another great entry in the band’s discography, but on its own it is a powerful and passionate album that was forged by the great gods of heavy music who put blood and sweat in their work. The album is definitely an “all killer no filler”, but I think that isn’t really a big surprise because Cirith Ungol have always delivered and to make another great album certainly wasn’t hard for them to pull off. For longtime fans of this band, I highly suggest you be there when this album is unleashed into this world, because I can guarantee that the White Wolf will be the triumphant champion once again, and if you so dare to stand in his way, then your soul will serve as a fine feast to feed the hunger of the Stormbringer!
