Pentagram is an early 80's classic doom metal band, around the time and about the style of Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General and Candlemass. This is by no means a Black Sabbath worship band, they have a style all their own. Lyrics about the occult, graves, cool shit like that.
The guitar of this album is heavy, mid-paced, and bass heavy. The solos are great, obvious blues, rock and Jimi Hendrix influences. Catchy riffs, cool beat, just some great ass doom meal guitar here.
The bass is pretty inaudiable, but you know it's there. It helps with that bass-heavy guitar sound that I was talking about earlier in the post.
The drums are really good, they keep the beat, have some nice fills too, and even a little drum solo here and there on this album. Great drums.
The vocals are one of the best things about this album. They are clean, rock vocals in the style of Ozzy, exept a bit deeper, and to be honest, better.
Anyways, this is an essensial for all classic doom fans out there, I reccomend you snatch this one up. I reccomend for fans of doom, rock, blues, heavy metal, and thrash. 91/100
