Longtime fan of this epic band. Glad to see Cirith Ungol back in action. Now bring on the full album!

It's amazing what 27 years have done to Tim Baker's voice. If you always liked the music of Cirith Ungol but couldn't get into the vocals or somewhat lo-fi production, this is for you. An absolute stomper from the masters of dungeon metal.

Grendel's Sÿster
The inimitable high priests of Epic Metal / Doom; gnarly, weird & archaic, yet still imbued with tragic beauty.

lyrics
Witch’s Game
Deep within the sacred mountain, past the death and ancient stones.
Sit before the evil Eydis, as she begins to roll the bones.
Trapped within the Witch's Game, forced to live her wicked dream.
She plays the card of the warrior, as you hear the fallen scream.
Ride into the battle, death my willing slave.
Ride into the battle, begin the Witch's Game.
Oh what can this be, deaths harem calling for me.
Can this much pleasure, be this much pain, or am I finally going insane?
All is shattered, a crashing from above, as our senses melt away.
The Witch continues with her evil, another roll, another card, another play.
Now the Witch has played the card, a pack of demons, yellow eyes agleam.
Just one way to end this nightmare, take a step inside the dream.
Ride into the battle, death my only name
Ride into the battle, play the Witch's Game
Our last vision now beneath the sea, where the scorned black idols lie.
Card of death and now the dragon strikes, the ancient sword soon by our side.
Now we’re heading from the horror, and our eyes are filled with flame.
Standing strong and undefeated, can we escape the Witch's Game.
Ride into the battle, death my willing slave.
Ride into the battle, begin the Witches Game.
Ride into the battle, death my only name
Ride into the battle, play the Witches Game
Deep within the sacred mountain, past the death and ancient stones.
Sit before the evil Eydis, as she begins to roll the bones.
Trapped within the Witch's Game, forced to live her wicked dream.
She plays the card of the warrior, as you hear the fallen scream.
Ride into the battle, death my willing slave.
Ride into the battle, begin the Witch's Game.
Oh what can this be, deaths harem calling for me.
Can this much pleasure, be this much pain, or am I finally going insane?
All is shattered, a crashing from above, as our senses melt away.
The Witch continues with her evil, another roll, another card, another play.
Now the Witch has played the card, a pack of demons, yellow eyes agleam.
Just one way to end this nightmare, take a step inside the dream.
Ride into the battle, death my only name
Ride into the battle, play the Witch's Game
Our last vision now beneath the sea, where the scorned black idols lie.
Card of death and now the dragon strikes, the ancient sword soon by our side.
Now we’re heading from the horror, and our eyes are filled with flame.
Standing strong and undefeated, can we escape the Witch's Game.
Ride into the battle, death my willing slave.
Ride into the battle, begin the Witches Game.
Ride into the battle, death my only name
Ride into the battle, play the Witches Game

RAVENING IRON
by Eternal Championsupported by 139 fans who also own “Witch's Game”
Perfect entry-level trad heavy metal. This genre never clicked with me no matter who I listened to. Iron Maiden, Atlantean Kodex, you name it. I had just begun warming to Khemmis, and this might have just made me a fan. If you're like me and most traditional heavy metal does nothing for you, listen to this. You won't regret it. An epic journey, front to back.

This entire album is great, filled with great tracks the entire way through. I still get goosebumps listening to Cage of Mirrors to this day, truly a haunting tune by a great band.
