Pentagram

When listening to some of Pentagram's work you will clearly hear the influence they have had on bands like Graveyard, Kadavar and how in a way they were supposed to be Americas answer to Black Sabbath back then. Pentagram is considered one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal and even more important, Doom Metal. There is this great documentary (Last days here) out there you can find it “in full” on you tube. It’s an intriguing documentary about a guy who discovers the band (in shape of the troubled singer) right at the tipping point of self-destruction. And he is set on getting the singer Bobby Liebling back on his feet again and ultimately back on stage. The band was formed in 1971 with singles and recordings dating back to 1972. After the documentary the band had gained such momentum that they toured the states and Europe, starting at Roadburn 2011 and later released their 7th record in almost 30 years. Plow through their wiki and check the different era’s the band underwent through a plethora of member changes. There has been an announcement of the 8th studio album and it should be released this year. And maybe you will be able to hear some of these now tracks at their concert in Rotterdam at Baroeg on the july te 14th. We will be there too, so come shake our hands!
