Description: One Foot in Hell is the third studio album by the heavy metal band Cirith Ungol, that was released in August 1986. Cirith Ungol formed in 1971 in Ventura, California. This early doom and power metal group is known for lyrics based on fantasy, particularly the sword and sorcery variant. Throughout the ’70s, the band generally played a style of heavy metal heavily rooted in hard and psychedelic rock. Its first studio album, Frost and Fire (1981), featured a heavier sound, generally regarded as an early example of American power metal. By its second studio album, King of the Dead (1984), it had solidified its power metal style while gravitating toward a much darker sound, with many considering the album among the first doom metal releases.
