I took a ride to Newbury Comics tonight, and decided to check out Pentagram, as I'd read about them before but never heard their stuff. I bought "Turn to Stone", a compilation of tunes from their first three albums.
I'm 22, and have been into metal for about 5 or 6 years now - I'm kicking myself for not listening to this shit sooner.


Start arguing.

no argument here. Pentagram are the way.
didn't it take them something fifteen years to release a single album?

fuck, that rules

There's this band that is touring America very soon (maybe already) that play the same kind of stuff and are amazing. They are called Witchcraft and you should check them out.

oh yeah, that's right they are coming to the Middle East I think

Yeah, I read they started around 1970, released a buttload of demos and singles, then their first full length was released in '85. By far one of the heaviest bands I've yet heard.

Yeah, I'm like you, I'd known about them forever but never checked them out until earlier this year. They always had so many comps and best ofs and shit that it was intimidating to pick one out, haha

I have the first 3 records now, hard to choose a favorite as they're all awesome

That was defintiely one factor that led me to keep putting off buying an album. Plus a some album covers are different and don't have the original release dates printed on them, so for someone like me who wasn't familiar at all with them, it was hard to tell what was a compilation and what wasn't.

I'm definitely going to start pursuing more stuff from this band though, I'm already trying to hunt down T-shirts and other merchandise.

When The Screams Come is an awsome song. Doom!

i picked up a copy of 'day of reckoning' and was hooked. its like '88 or something. it's still really good. they do 'when the screams come' on it, but its different than the one on 'first daze'.

Witchcraft do a pretty great cover of When the Screams Come at the end of their Firewood album that I think I might like more than the original. Seriously, Witchcraft. Check out Witchcraft.

Walk In The Blue Light

They're my go-to example when talking about perseverence as a band.

The movie about Bobbie is available on Netflix. It's a must watch.
