Cirith Ungol

Cirith Ungol is an American heavy metal band formed in late 1971 in Ventura, California.The group is known for lyrics based on fantasy (particularly sword and sorcery) and is an early epic doom and power metal band. Their first studio album, Frost and Fire, contained elements of 1970s hard rock and metal with songs written by bassist and guitarist Greg Lindstrom, but beginning with King of the Dead, they played a progressive rock influenced doom metal with lyrics primarily written by vocalist Tim Baker and drummer Robert Garven, although all band members typically contributed to song composition.
