Scheduled to headline the Frost and Fire fest in Ventura, CA on October. I'm sure European dates will soon follow.

Does this mean there was a "Frost And Fire" Fest I without Cirith Ungol? If that's the case, it seems like blasphemy to me...

Either way, I'm sure they will play "Paradise Lost" in its entirety :lol:

Apparently the headliners for the 1st one were Manilla Road & Ashbury.
Whoever's booking the thing seems to have the right idea.

Yup, I've been waiting for this for at least 15 years. A dream come true for me.

I'm hoping as a result of this, their unreleased demo stuff comes out finally. Like this one, there has to be more:

Without the official announcement of the band lineup, it's not very safe to say anything, but if it's something like the photo of Baker + Garven + 2 night demon guys, it sure as hell doesn't look very promising and, most important, it doesn't feel very Cirith Ungol at all.

Hey, 2 original members is better than a lot of "reunion" bands these days! Anyway, I already bought my tickets. No idea if I'll be able to go come October, but the whole fest looks too good not to try.

Vocals = Tim Baker
Drums = Robert Garven
Guitar = Jim Barazza

I'm almost certain Flint will play bass. And it's possible Greg will be in too.

Have faith, ye unbelievers!

Adding a second guitar player is always a good idea. Sure it will sound good live.

And that alone says a lot about our level of compromise and our willingness to support all those "reunions"...I don't count myself out in any case..

I've been told that Jim Barraza will not be involved in this reunion, as Rober Garven and Tim Baker are not interested in working with him anymore. I know that Greg Lindstrom is most likely involved. Not sure about who will fill in for bass.

Strange, Barraza confirmed playing in the band on his page on Facebook. Tim and Rob both liked the post... :mrgreen:

Greg Lindstrom is confirmed playing in the band too, on the Frost and Fire page.
