Heaviest Metal
A cassette demo known as self release, or “Demo Cassette Album“, “Demo cassette”, “Orange album”, “Orange demo”, “Orange label”, “Orange cassette” or simply as “Album”. Subtitle is “Heaviest Metal”. Limited to a few hundred copies.
In finally, the title is called “The Orange Album” from Dec 2020.
The orange cassette was a demo that we were giving to friends and I think we sent some out looking for a label.
The cassette demo “album” had an orange cover, and it was distributed at gigs. Some of the tunes on the orange cassette included “Show You All” sung by Rob, “Route 666” sung by Greg, “We Know You’re Out There” sung by exiting Neal Beattie and entering Tim Baker and “High Speed Love” sung by Tim Baker.
– Perry Grayson, 31 Jan 2006

Show You All, High Speed Love and Route 666 from the cover of Falcon. High Speed Love are from the Matt Baker’s The Cirith Ungol Legion MySpace group (dead link). Bite of the Worm and Witchdance are from the Orange tape and on Servants of Chaos. Atom Smasher has earlier from Orange tape. We Know You’re Out There are from the first Cirith Ungol MySpace.
We recorded a 12 track [ed: 11 track] demo cassette (the “Orange Album”) in 1979 [ed: 1978], which we sold locally and at shows. “Bite of the Worm” and “Witchdance” from that cassette are on “Servants Of Chaos”. We sent the cassette out to a lot of record companies, but I think they were all looking for another Van Halen at that time, so we decided to release an album ourselves.

Engineer and mixer
Dokorder – reel to reel tape recorders
Armed with their own Dokorder reel-to-reel 4 track recorder, Cirith Ungol whapped out a tape chock full of their blistering tunes.
– Perry Grayson, 31 Jan 2006
All the songs on this CD were recorded in our 10 x 14 practice room in Rob’s parents’ house on our trusty Dokorder 7140 4 track reel-to-reel and Teac Model 3 mixer.

Dokorder – Museum of Magnetic Sound Recording
TEAC. But which “Teac Model 3 mixer” for Cirith Ungol in 1978? This one?
The bootlegs and the genuines
The first demo are the The Orange Album – December 1977 with yellow/orange background. Mr. Goniloc talked about funny records on video (30 May 2018) on Cirith Ungol. Amongst other thing, The Orange Album released maybe 2018, and is fake. Does it really exists the fake demo in real, or just Internet? Probably just Internet.
The next one is the self-titled Cirith Ungol (1979) and cover is “Praying Skeleton” on white skeleton on black background. And it is also bootleg. Not sure about it’s date, but some years earlier. Maybe released 2002? I have never seen before, just media. Does it really exists the fake demo in real, or just Internet?
Now, there are two demos, The Orange Album (Dec 1977) and the self-titled (1979), or vice versa. There is a Cirith Ungol’s discography that has also has two demo releases, f.ex. Wikipedia, Metal Archives, Youtube, this-metal.com, that-metal.com etc.
But all of these two are fake.
Very funny! The first two releases shown were actually bootlegs. The second was derived from a concert poster I drew!?
– Robert Garven, Goniloc 2018
Probably to have The Orange Album (Dec 1977) on Halloween Party (1976).
I have never seen that, however the art is from a poster I drew for the band I looked and could not find that one in my archives, but still looking.
– Robert Garven, March 2019
The first demo tape is nick named “Orange album”, etc. (Aug 1978) is genuine. Except that, all of pictures are fake, counterfeit or bootleg.

A short brief with titled:
- The Orange Album, pyramid yellow/orange background (Dec 1977) – fake
- The orange album / demo / cassette etc., “Praying Skeleton” orange/red background (Aug 1978/remaster 2020) – real
- Cirith Ungol, “Praying Skeleton” black background (1979) – fake ?
- Various drawings is also fake (1977-79) – fake
The second geniune and the last demo are the first Frost and Fire. Sound identical, but not text and pictures.
