C'est marrant me suis ressorti ce disque (Day Of Reckoning, que je possède depuis une dizaine d'année) récemment et j'ai seulement capté que le batteur était Joe Hasselvander, batteur de Raven depuis 1988!
édit: ok j'ai la réédition de 93 (cf bio en début de topic....) C'est d'un compliqué leur histoire!
Russ Strahan a écrit :It is with the highest honor that I can announce I am the guitarist for the newest incarnation of PENTAGRAM! The lineup features Bobby Leibling (vocal), Gary Isom (Drums), Mark Amen (Bass) & yours truly (Russ Strahan (guitars)). We will be doing shows & releasing the new studio album "Last Rites". Stay tuned for more as it transpires…
"The average Metal record buyer is a stereotypical loser: a good-for-nothing who was teased as a child, got bad grades in school, lives on social welfare, and seeks compensation for his inferiority complexes and lack of identity by feeling part of an exclusive gang of outcasts uniting against a society which has turned them down."

C'est grâce à eux que j'ai découvert SIR LORD BALTIMORE... J'ai réussi à choper le premier album de SLB en téléchargeant, mais jamais j'ai pu foutre la main sur le deuxième.
Ah et dans le trip barré vous connaissez l'album "Kryptonite" du canadien Neil Merryweather??? C'est carrément bien lourd et psyché à souhait!
Y'a au moins 7-8 ans que j'ai le CD ou les 2LP sont réunis
J'adore le son de la gratte

Oui, vraiment excellente d'ailleurs, bravo à toi d'avoir interviewé ce monstre trop méconnu dans nos contrées ! Penta', Raven ou ses albums solo, ou The Hounds, tout est la mesure du gars : HEAVY au sens propre !
Mais j'avoue ne rien attendre de Pentagram désormais, si quelque chose sort tant mieux, sinon tant pis. Liebling a trop habitué son public a des déceptions ces dernières années. Je fais parti de ceux qui rêvent d'une nouvelle collaboration avec Joe Hasselvander mais c'est pas près d'arriver hélas.

merci pour ces mots doux
ouai apparemment Joe est bien remonté contre Pentagram et il est pas prêt d'y revenir
comme c'est helas le cas avec Beehler et Exciter....snif

Encore des rééditions, mais plus récentes cette fois :
On November 17 (January 27 in the U.S.), Season Of Mist will reissue two classic albums by cult doom band PENTAGRAM: 1999's "Review Your Choices" and 2001's "Sub Basement".
PENTAGRAM'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, breakups, bad deals, jail terms, chronic illness, satanic blood sacrifices and various acts of self-destruction. The LP also marked the return of multi-instrumentalist Joe Hasselvander to join Bobby Liebling in his eternal quest of creating the heaviest sound possible. The LP features a mix of re-recorded lost Liebling tracks from the '70s and stellar numbers penned by Hasselvander, which gave "Review Your Choices" an extra heavy feeling.
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.
"Sub-Basement" was the second output of this lineup 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.

si ça me fait réagir, ça me fait chier, la vie est une pute, car je travaille ce jour là. Alors j'ai pas encore fait de commentaire pour pas être encore plus frustré... Voilà c'est fait, et meeeeerde!!! Rater ça c'est pas humain!!!!
Cool!
M'a donné envie de réécouter ce groupe archi-culte!
Sinon, est-ce que quelqu'un d'autre que moi est à peine étonné de voir des mecs de Witchcraft parmi ces interviewés?
Excellent groupe aussi au demeurant.
Putain d'ailleurs, les rééditions là, elles sont dispos partout, à la fnac et ce genre de trucs !
Bon vu que j'ai pas envie d'acheter mes disques là-bas, j'en ai pas pris, et en plus ça me fait chier ces rééditions avec des pochettes moches en digipack. Personne vend leurs cd, en version "normale" ?
Amis doomsters voila une petite video de leur show a Baltimore le 3 mars dernier. Ce sont the devil's blood qui etaient en ouverture.
La prise de son est pas terrible mais on sent que les coyotes ont envie. Ceci est de tres bonne augure.
Ca a l'air de sonner maousse costaud.
Un groupe que j'ai découvert en 1998, avec les albums de "victor griffin", depuis je suis devenu un fan du groupe. Et même devenue fan du groupe de "victor griffin", "Place Of Skulls". Il faudra que je fasse un post pour ce dernier.
Je suis dans une grosse phase Pentagram en ce moment. La première compile First Daze est vraiment énorme. Je me le suis enchainé avec Relentless, qui déboite tout autant dans un style plus heavy/doom. Le dernier en date Curious Volume est pas mal aussi.
Après j'avoue être un peu paumé dans le reste de leur disco avec tous les réenregistrement des morceaux 70s qu'on retrouve un peu partout dans chaque album. M'enfin bon rien ne vaudra les versions originales.
J'ai également enfin pu voir le documentaire Last Days Here sur Bobby Liefling. J'étais déjà fan de la musique mais quand on connait en plus l'histoire du bonhomme, ça prend tout de suite une autre dimension.
Sinon, merci à celui qui a mis la bio du groupe en première page du topic

ite Owl by Bobby Liebling and Dave Sherman Basement Chronicles is a set of doom bangers, fuzz rockers and meditative late night boogie finally made available to a wider audience.
In the early years of the new millennium doom metal legend Bobby Liebling was going through a quieter period after the Pentagram lineup that had brought us the album Show ‘Em How had disbanded. Dave Sherman, Liebling’s longtime friend and a renowned doom metal musician (Earthride, Spirit Caravan) started hanging out with Bobby more regularly and eventually the duo decided it’s time to record something and see what it would bring. “After having crashed my car”, Sherman recounts, “I was regularly packing my 4 track into a backpack, saddling up on my iron horse and riding over in the dead of night to visit Bobby. He was in sore spirits and solitary at the time so I’d started going over to keep him company, thumb through his record collection, talk music and party. These hang sessions inspired us both, so I ended up writing some riff. With the lights of the recorder lit, these night songs effortlessly flowed out of us and were chronicled in one take.”
The Nite Owl album is the first time these recordings, a snippet of which can be heard in the cult classic documentary Last Days Here, are made available officially apart from CD-r “I Plead The Fifth” of which just a handful of copies were made by the artists. The Svart version is also remastered and partially remixed at Noise For Fiction studios, for a slightly more amplified and less lo-fi experience.

Colors bleed but never fade
Recently signed to European powerhouse Heavy Psych Sounds Records, doom metal legends Pentagram are set to reissue the Review Your Choices and Sub-Basement albums (originally released in 1999 and 2001 respectively via Black Widow Records) in a fully remastered version engineered by Tony Reed, and adorned by brand new artworks by Mirkow Gastow and SoloMacello.
Details below.
Their fourth studio album, Review Your Choices, marked Pentagram’s sixth comeback after several lineup and label changes. These acclaimed godfathers 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. Main-man and singer Bobby Liebling has kept his band alive for over 35 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 to create the heaviest sound possible. The album features a mix of re-recorded lost Liebling tracks from the 70's and stellar new numbers penned by Hasselvander, which gave "Review Your Choices" an extra heavy feeling. Pentagram once again set a standard to be followed by such illustrious followers as Cathedral, Spirit Caravan, Goatsnake, St. Vitus, Trouble or High On Fire among many others. Dive down deep into gloom and despair with this classic doom recording!

"Burning Rays"
"Change Of Heart"
"Living In A Ram's Head"

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. Pentagram embody all those virtues like no other contender in this oldest of all metal genres founded by none other than Black Sabbath. Many have named Pentagram the true heirs of those originators of Heavy Metal and honorably dubbed them 'the American Black Sabbath'. In this sixth incarnation of the band, doom lord Bobby Liebling had reunited with drummer Joe Hasselvander, who had already been a member of Pentagram twice before. Hasselvander played all the instruments, while Liebling added his matchless vocals. "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 Pentagram's perfect doom sound an irresistible groove and capturing catchiness was added, which made the album an all-time favourite for many fans.
Tracklist:
"Bloodlust"
"Buzzsaw"
"Drive Me To The Grave"
"Sub-Intro"
"Sub-Basement"
"Go In Circles (Reachin' For An End)"
"Mad Dog"
"After The Last"
