Our metal creator series continues with profiles of Cleveland’s raw metal animals MIDNIGHT, and California fantasy metal pioneers CIRITH UNGOL. Join us as we unravel the twenty-year mysteries of Midnight, including music from the new Hellish Expectations release, and bid farewell to uniquely heavy Cirith Ungol who are ceasing touring in 2024, over 50 years after they formed. Know your Roots!
