PENTAGRAM (Usa)
1985 - Pentagram.
way more Helter Skelter.

February 1985 - 2025: 40 years of: Pentagram.

The birth of American doom.

Way aside from the current blooming hardrock and thrashmetal scene, a dark Virginian caravan eventually ends on wax. Breed deep from the early 70s, this rebellion shall leave a massive rocknroll-footprint. From the left hand path, arises PENTAGRAM.

Staring into the eyes of your demise, this "Death Row" is a long waiting-line. Rocking with 70s hardrock flair along "All Your Sins" and "The Deist" ...the definite BLACK SABBATH Master Of Reality LP tone is evident. Dancing with the darkside under the "Sign Of The Wolf (Pentagram)", this groovy calling clears the airwaves of any present Holiness.

The fast-paced E-riffology of both "Relentless" and "Dying World" spree like children of the grave, while the affordable BLUE CHEER-like "20 Buck Spin" crushes Orange Amps into a liquid pulp.

Recorded in 1981 and 1982, iconic and imminent, the Pentagram (AKA Relentless) LP is a staple in a deep underground scene. Grassroot and addictive, their impact on American doom / stoner recently sprung back into the limelight, after 2011's Last Days Here biopic-movie. Frontmen Bobby Liebling is the East-Coast's Ozzy Osbourne.

Still in the trenches and still ignored by the 80s, the rocknroll rodeo shall produce more evil deeds with 1987's Day Of Reckoning LP.
