I almost did the artwork for the cover on CIrith Ungols Tribute "One Foot in Fire" However communication and collaboration with Bart Gabriel somehow got mixed up and things didn't work out. Kind of a bummer!-Graham Ganson (the artist), 03 Mar 2010 Here is another alternative cover. I don't know where it is from, but I guess it is a draft of the final version. Only the typings looks different.
He never used them, there was no contracts.
I can’t say that I’m familiar with most of them, but it’s really gratifying to know that so many fellow musicians are into CIRITH UNGOL. I’ve heard DOOMSWORD’s version of “Nadsokor” and they did a great job. By the way, FALCON is planning to be on the CIRITH UNGOL tribute as well, possibly with “Edge Of A Knife” or a different version of “Half Past Human”. I would love to hear PENTAGRAM do “I’m Alive”. I think Bobby singing would really add some poignancy to the lyrics.”-Greg Lindstrom, Headache interview, 2005 (a year before release)
I was also blown away by the covers to our songs that just came out on the Cirith Ungol tribute album. I think some of the versions of our songs are better than our original versions!-Robert Garven, Diabolical Conquest interview

A short interview with guitarist Andrea "Kiraya" Magini, 23 Mar 2010.
-We are Cirith Ungol fans since the childhood. We grew with bands like Cirith Ungol,we love their way to write Metal, obscure, slow and epic.Why did you choose to cover Cirith Ungol?
-This is our tribute to a band that give us a lot of inspiration and that partecipated intensly in our metal grow..And why exactly Death of the Sun?
-We like to re-arrange covers, we think that you must put your feeling and your style when covering another artist. We are an Epic Heavy Metal band, so we choosed the more different song, the one that is less similar to our style, so we were able to work on it very intensly :)Click here for more info about the album.
Death of the Sun is almost a punk song ,confronted with other CU tracks. We liked the lyrics and the way it arrive straight to your face in a bounce of tunes.. We improved the speed and made an heavy carpet of double bassdrum. In the middle of the song we put a little insert in pure italian prog style, with a progressive tempo, and huge guitar harmonizations.. we almost lost our singer while recording the lyrics because he tried to acquire the Tim Baker tunes and style (very biting voice, and rude in higher tones) :) we wish you like our interpretation !!!
