PENTAGRAM Reissues On The Way
October 21, 2008, 16 years ago
Season Of Mist are reissuing the PENTAGRAM titles Review Your Choices and Sub-Basement.
Says the label:
"November 17th (January 27th in the US), Season Of Mist will reissue two classic albums by cult doom band Pentragram: 1999's Review Your Choices and 2001's Sub Basement. Doom is made out of 666 tons heavy riffing, vocals filled with pain, regret and spite as well as leaden song-structures stretched taut to the point of ripping, and Pentragram embody all those virtues like no other contender. Many have named the band the true heir of the British originators of heavy and doom metal, honourably dubbing them 'the American Black Sabbath'.Pentragram's fourth studio album Review Your Choices marked the band's sixth comeback after several changes of lineup and label. These acclaimed protagonists of doom metal proved once more indestructible by drug addiction, break ups, bad deals, jail terms, chronic illness, satanic blood sacrifices and various acts of self destruction.
Mainman and singer Bobby Liebling has kept his band alive for nearly 40 years now and might easily be awarded the title of "longest serving cult band" - highly acclaimed by fans, press and fellow musicians alike.
Review Your Choices marked the return of multi-instrumentalist Joe Hasselvander to join Bobby Liebling in his eternal quest of creating the heaviest sound possible. The album features a mix of re-recorded lost Liebling tracks from the 70's and stellar numbers penned by Hasselvander, which gave Review Your Choices an extra heavy feeling.
Sub-Basement was the second output of this line-up and is regarded as the most rock n' roll effort of the doomsters ever. On top of Pentragram's perfect doom sound an irresistible groove and capturing catchiness was added, which made the album an all time favourite for many fans.
Sub-Basement will kick your ass and twist your legs! Dive down deep into gloom and despair with these classic doom recordings, both to be reissued with bonus tracks, new artworks and liner notes."
