Titled “Cirith Ungol Overture” and was planned to be the last track on the album. Line-up for this song:

Hans P. Kuurstra – drums – MA
Martjin van den Bergen – guitars & bass – MA

We were asked to do an instrumental of a few Cirith Ungol songs, and Hans came up with this medley of 5 of their songs. We have recorded this intrumental at Reborn Studios, in Monster, Holland in one day. For Hans this is the ultimate tribute as he has met Cirith Ungol a few times in California and is great friends with Robert Garven. Hail to Metal!!!

Martijn van den Bergen (guitars & bass), liner notes

I inquired further, and Graven explained: “Oh yeah, his name was Hans Kuurstra and he’s from Rotterdam. He went on to play in a band called Battering Ram. What happened was after our first album came out, he flew here from Holland to visit us. He came out and we got to visit with him. You know, he stayed like maybe a week or so. He’d come to all the practices and kind of pal it around with us. We took him around and showed him the sites. Unexpectedly, he tragically got sick and died, I think it was a year and a half ago or so. He had asked before he died for some of his ashes be sent to us. He had told one of his friends the greatest moment of his life was coming here because we were his heroes. So we’re caretakers for some of his ashes for a while.”
