Never the greatest of heavy metal bands to begin with (although no one could ever accuse them of sounding like anyone else), Los Angeles' Cirith Ungol were really starting to overstay their welcome come album number three, 1986's One Foot in Hell. Where previous efforts like 1981's Frost & Fire and 1984's King of the Dead had contained the odd American proto-metal classic and enough songwriting inventiveness to counter the band's utterly uncommercial talents, One Foot in Hell sounded very tired and uninspired. Limp-wristed semi-thrashers like "Blood & Iron" and "100 MPH" were interspersed with plodding no-hopers like "The Fire" and "Doomed Planet" -- all of them as poorly recorded as ever, yet laden with lyrics that were arguably too simplistic and dumb even by heavy metal standards. Any rare bright spots were isolated to portions of the title track and the second half of "War Eternal," but the once combustible and wonderfully idiosyncratic songwriting team of guitarist Jerry Fogle and vocalist Tim Baker only really clicked as before on lone album standout "Chaos Descends." Baker, in particularly, his strangled rasp still, for good and ill, Cirith Ungol's most distinctive feature, seemed to have been pushed to the background on this occasion; his contributions rendered ghostlike, almost unintelligible, and even inscrutable in the case of "Nadsokor." Worst of all, it wouldn't get any better for Cirith Ungol in the aftermath of One Foot in Hell's release, as their already cult-level standing continued to slip on their way to a ignoble and almost unheralded demise five years later. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Much like the English punk movement before it, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal invaded hundreds of American garages in the early '80s and launched countless bands across the nation. It is interesting to note, however, that while in major cities with thriving punk rock this phenomenon manifested itself in the form of thrash metal (for example, L.A.'s Metallica, New York's Anthrax), in secondary capitals, up-and-coming bands generally boasted a more mainstream metal approach. Such was the case with Phoenix's Armored Saint, Connecticut's Fates Warning, ...

Metal Church's excellent debut had impressed critics and fans alike with its ferocious blend of classic metal and thrash. But by the time they released its follow-up, 1986's The Dark, the band seemed to be struggling with their direction and wrestling with internal problems. The fact that they were collectively one of the most unattractive bands ever (even by heavy metal standards) didn't help matters either, especially in image-conscious America, so it was no surprise when the band's appeal remained firmly confined to the metal underground. Which is too bad, since The Dark contained some of the group's best material, including the brutal intensity of "Start the Fire" and "Method to Your Madness," as well as what was probably their best-known song, the astoundingly heavy epic "Watch the Children Play." Extensive touring with Elektra labelmates Metallica ...

Ever exiled to the fringes of the '80s heavy metal scene, Los Angeles' Cirith Ungol limped to the end of their troubled career with 1991's rather fittingly named Paradise Lost -- their fourth and final long-player in a decade's work. Unfortunately, very few music fans even cared by then, which was an especially tragic state of affairs since Paradise Lost was a far stronger outing than 1986's One Foot in Hell (1986), and matched improved sound quality and musicianship to the classic/doom adventure metal songwriting of uneven early efforts, Frost & Fire (1981) and King of the Dead (1984). Coincidentally, half of the band's lineup had turned over during their five-year absence (the band had actually split up for a time), and so long serving members ...

Although they had very little competition to speak of amid Britain's overall piss-poor contributions to thrash metal, Xentrix always had little hope of challenging the genre's American titans in the eyes of fans -- most of whom viewed them as nothing more than a substandard Metallica copyists. And those negative perceptions were in no danger of being debunked by the arrival of their third album, Kin, in 1992, where tracks such as "A Friend to You," "All Bleed Red," and the "Unforgiven"-like "Release" saw Xentrix -- and particularly vocalist James Hetfield, er, Chris Astley -- sounding like a veritable Metallica tribute band! At least Astley's voice is both muscular and convincingly powerful on these blatant ripoffs, because elsewhere (see the power ballad "No More Time") his cleaner tones simply lack personality and sometimes tunefulness -- yeesh! Granted, a few of Kin's mid-paced thrashers (high-speed numbers having mostly been retired in The Black Album's aftermath) boasted the rare good lick or memorable chorus (first single "The Order of Chaos," for instance, and, to a lesser degree, the not totally forgettable "Waiting"); but the vast majority of the songs on hand were needlessly overwrought, painfully hook-less, and in the case of arguable low point "See Through You," unbearably slow. Sure enough, the clock was ticking on Xentrix's already generous 15 minutes, and when heretofore faithful ...
