Cirith Ungol's 'Dark Parade' is a remarkable 12-inch vinyl record, officially licensed merchandise from the band. This album showcases an unrelenting blend of pessimism and pain, propelled by the band's love for metal, a destructive instinct, and a distaste for mankind. Side A features tracks like 'Velocity (S.E.P.)', 'Relentless', 'Sailor on the Seas of Fate', and 'Sacrifice'. Side B includes 'Looking Glass', 'Dark Parade', 'Distant Shadows', and 'Down Below'. The vinyl comes with several exciting features. It's a fog marbled vinyl, which gives it a unique and eye - catching appearance. There's also a gatefold jacket that adds to the overall collectible value. Alongside, you'll get an A1 size poster (approximately 23.4 inches by 33.1 inches) and a digital download card for convenient listening. As Garven says, the band has a dual personality between fantasy and doom themes, and on this album, the doom side shines through, presenting Tim's prophetic view of mankind's twisted future. Note that the actual vinyl color may vary from the mock. It's a Metal Blade Records item with number 252231 and the code CirithUngol - DarkParade - 2023.

To use this Cirith Ungol 'Dark Parade' vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition.

Enjoy the music! When you're done, lift the tonearm gently and return it to its rest. Then, carefully put the record back into the jacket. To maintain the record, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid stacking heavy objects on it. Clean the record regularly with a soft, anti - static record brush to remove dust and debris. Also, be aware that the actual vinyl color might be different from what you saw in the mock, but that's part of its unique charm.
