Also in 1994, the band's song 'Curious George Blues' was exclusively recorded for the soundtrack to the movie Airheads. Towards the end of 1994, Dig released the promotional Soft Pretzel EP, which included three original songs and also a Pink Floyd cover, ' Fearless'. The single 'Unlucky Friend' had featured four tracks recorded by Dig while on Mark Radcliffe's FM radio show while they toured the UK. Overseas in the United Kingdom, Dig had fared a bit better on the UK Singles Chart, as 'Believe' peaked at #83, 'Unlucky Friend' peaked at #96, and 'I'll Stay High' peaked at #97, all in 1994. Although 'Believe' was the band's hit song, the record labels had done an unlikely move, and issued four other singles from the same album, although they all failed to chart in the United States. The single 'Believe' was played regularly on MTV's Buzz Bin and it had reached #19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart and #34 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. The album peaked at #153 on the Billboard 200 and at #6 on the Billboard Heatseekers charts. It was produced by Dave Jerden, who was well-known for producing '90s albums by bands such as Alice in Chains and Anthrax. After releasing a demo EP in 1992 titled Runt, they signed with Radioactive Records and issued their first full-length album in 1993, the self-titled Dig. The other founding members were Jon Morris on guitar, Johnny Cornwell on guitar, Phil Friedmann on bass, and Anthony Smedile on drums. He was successful in slaying Ancalagon, and his bulk fell upon Thrangororim and destroyed it, and the fortress of Angband was no more.Dig formed in 1991 within Los Angeles, as vocalist Scott Hackwith had previously produced for The Ramones and had worked in the studio for various bands. Their onslaught was so terrible that the Valar were driven back from Angband, but Eärendil came in his ship, Vingilot, accompanie by the Great Eagles of Middle-earth, led by Thorondor. Soon, the Valar took pity on them, and instigated the War of Wrath.ĭuring the War of Wrath, almost all of Morgoth's armies, including the Balrogs, were destroyed, so he released his final weapons: the dragons, led by Ancalagon the Black.

Morgoth then directed the war against the Ñoldor, and all the Free Peoples that supported them in Beleriand.

Soon, Morgoth came back to Middle-earth, and raised the peaks of Thrangorodrim over it. Then, Melkor stole the Silmarils, which caused Fëanor to rename him 'Morgoth'. After 3,000 years, Melkor was free, and he and Ungoliant destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor. It's possible that Sauron stayed behind at Angband with Gothmog and the other Balrogs, as he presumably commanded the stronghold when Beleriand was attacked, but it's unknown if he dwelt there during Melkor's 3,000-year imprisonment. They soon went south to Beleriand, threatening Thingol's kingdom of Doriath. Angband soon became Melkor's new seat of power, and the Orcs bred faster. There were also mines that have extended deeper than Morgoth's throne room, possibly extending into the lava beneath the world.Īt first, Melkor built Angband to guard against possible attacks by the other Valar, but after Utumno was destroyed, he and his minions had to move there. The entrance to Morgoth's throne room was in the Nethermost Hall. It first appeared in The Silmarillion.Īngband was a stronghold that was built beneath the Iron Mountains, and under the three gigantic volcanoes of Thrangorodrim, the largest mountains in Middle-earth at the time. It was destroyed at the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. Angband, also known as the Iron Prison, was Melkor's 2nd (and last) fortress of Middle-earth.
