Greetings From The Sub-Basement, Children Of Doom! Pentagram was started by Bobby Liebling in 1971 in Arlington, Virginia. Pentagram is considered to be one of the most influential heavy metal acts ever, especially in the realm of the doom-metal genre. Over the years since its inception in 1971, the band has gone through a long and complicated history with many lineups and countless devastatingly Heavy live shows played and feedback blasted audiences left in their wake. To date, their official releases include six studio albums, four singles, a live album, and four compilation albums(see the "Official Discography" post for more information)......Doom Or Be Doomed!
Attention: Now is the time in history, when what is now known as the infallible truth. That all you've been told is a tale to imprison your mind, and instincts. To poison your souls, to enslave with FEAR or REWARD .. The same rational you train a dog with...that instills shame to natural emotional actions, as the way to control your reactions against natural emotional release. Live your short lives in acknowledgment of the existence of nothing. I speak of Integration, not Machination. Intimation of Mactation and martyrization for the entire Planet. IF not for the ones you have enjoyed an are gone: If not for the ones who today you enjoy … Then why not to influence a New Dawn of MAN ….. Bury the 13th........ Greed was the one which was told would bring prophecy to reality…. Peace … IMB
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER.
However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club!
Be sure to catch PENTAGRAM during this rare earth flight! The reviews from their recent NYC / BALTIMORE rock rituals have been reeling at the relentless righteousness of PENTAGRAM live. 6/26 - The Empty Bottle - Chicago, IL 6/27 - The Empty Bottle - Chicago, IL 6/30 - Studio Seven - Seattle, WA 7/01 - Satyricon - Portland, OR 7/02 - DNA Lounge - San Francisco, CA 7/03 - House of Blues - Hollywood, CA 7/06 - Emo's - Austin, TX
If you like live music you owe it to yourself to see one of the best frontmen in history. Bobby Liebling is an active, American treasure and his band is golden.
