Während dem Hammer of Doom 2017 hieß es, dass der Auftritt von Cirith Ungol für ein Live-Album (CD /DVD) mitgeschnitten wird. Nun endlich wurde die Veröffentlichung des Materials angekündigt. Am 25.10.2019 soll "I’m Alive" erscheinen. Darauf enthalten sein wird nicht nur der Mitschnitt vom Hammer Of Doom, sondern ebenfalls die Auftritte vom Up The Hammers Festivals 2017 und Rock Hard Festival 2018, außerdem eine Dokumentation. Klingt nach einem großartigen, fetten Paket, das es in verschiedenen Varianten geben wird.
Hier die offizielle Ankündigung:
On October 25th, Cirith Ungol will release their new live album/DVD, I’m Alive, via Metal Blade Records. Capturing Cirith Ungol at the peak of their darkened, mystical powers before a rapturous crowd at the Up the Hammers festival in Athens, Greece, this recording showcases the magic and might of the band onstage. It’s accompanied by additional performances recorded at the Hammer of Doom (2017) and Rock Hard Festivals (2018) in Germany. For this monumental release, a special in-depth documentary spanning 2 hours in length was recorded, which includes exclusive interviews about the history and legacy of the band, as told by the current and original members.
Once again, acclaimed fantasy artist Michael Whelan (whose images adorn each cover of Cirith Ungol’s four studio albums) has created the perfect visual accompaniment for the musical content. It’s only fitting as Whelan’s breathtaking artwork is inextricably intertwined with the music and mythology of Cirith Ungol in the hearts and imaginations of metalheads worldwide.
