Cirith Ungol All the Shadows is the Ventura, California band’s seventh studio album, released October 30, 2026, through No Remorse Records. Its eight songs bring the group’s epic, doom-shadowed heavy metal back into focus, accompanied by another striking cover from fantasy artist Michael Whelan.
Cirith Ungol All the Shadows: Album and Artwork Details
For Cirith Ungol, the artwork is more than a decorative sleeve. Whelan’s fantasy imagery has long helped define the band’s visual identity, echoing the mythic atmosphere and darker edges of its music. His contribution to All the Shadows keeps that distinctive partnership visible on the new release.
The band announced the record as eight songs of epic, dark and doom-filled heavy metal. According to No Remorse Records’ official announcement, the album follows the group’s earlier landmarks Frost and Fire, King of the Dead and One Foot in Hell. Those records established an eccentric, apocalyptic sound that still gives Cirith Ungol a distinct place in traditional metal.
Eight New Tracks and the Official Lyric Video
Cirith Ungol All the Shadows opens with its title track, which the band introduced with an official lyric video. The remainder of the album includes “This Mortal Stain,” “Turning Blind,” “Shadow Reflection,” “Empty Tomb,” “On Broken Wings,” “Hollow Nimbus” and “Venus in Thirds.” The complete track listing and the band’s video appear below.
For collectors, the release is available in multiple formats. No Remorse Records announced CD, vinyl and special editions, while the band’s official Bandcamp page for All the Shadows lists digital and physical options. That direct artist page also confirms the release date, eight-track sequence and lineup: Tim Baker on vocals, Robert Garven on drums, Jarvis Leatherby on bass and Armand John Anthony on guitar.
Why the Cirith Ungol Release Matters
This is not simply another release date for the metal calendar. Cirith Ungol have built their reputation on music that sounds stubbornly unlike the prevailing fashion, and their embrace of fantasy artwork is inseparable from that identity. All the Shadows brings those threads together on a full-length record rather than a retrospective compilation.
For longtime fans and curious newcomers alike, Cirith Ungol All the Shadows offers an accessible entry point: start with the title-track video, explore the full track listing and follow the official label and Bandcamp links for the available editions.
