On 'Dark Parade', Cirith Ungol have created an unrelenting triumph of pessimism and pain. The album is propulsive and insistent, reflecting the band's love for metal, instinct to destroy, and disgust for mankind. "The band has always had the dual personality torn between fantasy and doom related themes," furthers Garven. "As the world spirals out of control, the doom side of this personality has ascended - an unrelenting cacophony of Tim's prophetic view of mankind's twisted future." Annihilation has rarely sounded so good.
