9.14 Pictures documentary, Last Days Here, will have its world premiere at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Last Days Here tells the story of Bobby Liebling, lead singer of the cult hard rock/heavy metal band PENTAGRAM. Frozen for decades in his parents' basement, Bobby's music is finally discovered by the heavy metal underground. With the help of Sean 'Pellet' Pelletier, his friend and manager, Bobby attempts to overcome years of addiction, loneliness, and broken dreams. Intimate, raw, and unexpectedly funny, Last Days Here portrays the unbelievable journey of a man at the crossroads of life and death.

Further details on the premier can be found at this location.

As previously reported, Pentagram, now entering their 40th year anniversary, will be releasing a full-length album, titled Last Rites, in the spring of 2011 featuring all new tracks with a DVD to follow in late 2011.

The doomed duo of Bobby Liebling and Victor Griffin has united once again to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Pentagram. Spring 2011 will bear witness to the revered pair's first studio album together in 17 years. Only days out of the sessions, the band will unleash these newborn heavies live!

Monstrous new riffs and more will be freed the nights of January 6th, at Europa in NYC and January 7th, at Club Hell in Providence, RI. Also playing live with the band will be Pentagram alumni and current full-time bass player Greg Turley with Tim Tomaselli (PLACE OF SKULLS) filling in on drums.

Bobby Liebling comments on working with Metal Blade Records; "I reflect on how Pentagram is coming into its 40th year and how it finally feels like we are entering into the major leagues. With Metal Blade now at our side, it feels like we made the World Series! I'll quote John Lennon from 'A Hard Day's Night' and ask the loyal rivetheads out there, 'Did we pass the audition?'"

Victor Griffin adds; "Neither Bobby nor myself ever imagined we'd play together again. It's an honor to be re-united and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pentagram, and the 30th anniversary of our musical relationship with a new album on Metal Blade Records! As always, we did it our way…thanks for making us survivors!"

"I am very excited to welcome Pentagram to the Metal Blade Family. It is really amazing for us to work with such a legendary band and we look forward to a great success!" comments Chairman/CEO of Metal Blade Records, Brian Slagel.
