Starting life in the early 1970s, US legends Pentagram is one of the most enduring underground bands in heavy metal history. Influenced by British bands The Groundhogs & Black Sabbath, their own take on Doom Metal has undoubtedly influenced countless bands of subsequent generations & continues to do so. Though the band line-up has changed many times over the years, enigmatic vocalist Bobby Liebling remains at the helm, with Pentagram now widely-regarded as a true cult band with a fan-base transcending whole generations.
Relentless was the band's debut album & was originally self-released in 1985 as Pentagram - later to be renamed & released by Peaceville in 1993, after a long search for a suitable record label. With its numerous timeless heavy metal anthems & the distinguishable voice of Bobby Liebling eerily ringing out, backed up by the masterful guitar prowess of Victor Griffin, plus Martin Swaney on bass & Joe Hasselvander on drums, Relentless remains the most iconic release of the band's studio output & a staple of the entire heavy doom genre.
This edition of Relentless is presented on limited marble vinyl & marks the album's 40th anniversary.
