| Cool thrash band that was lost in a crowded scene in the late 80's. They have a bit of a crossover sound like the first Sacred Reich album. Any fans?

| Yes. Good band. I haven't listened to them in a while. I'll have to dig them out, but from what I remember, they have a sound that reminded me of Nuclear Assault.

| Since it's not a real word...I suppose it could be pronounced however you'd like.
I still want to know how to pronounce "Cirith Ungol". _________________  |

| It's probably "Ack-row-fet" or "Ack-row-phey". _________________ |

That's how I pronounce it as well.
Yeah, pretty good thrash band. "Faded Glory" is a solid slab of thrash metal. |

| I always enjoyed them. I agree with ult; they do remind of Nuclear Assault a bit, with a hardcore edge to their thrash.
I prefer Faded Glory slightly over Corrupt Minds. Corrupt Minds was a bit one-dimensional. Faded Glory was a bit more diverse, and much more mature sounding.
