Arlington, Virginia, United States of America (1971 – present)
There is more than one band with this name:
1) Originating from Arlington, Virginia, United States of America, one of the earliest doom bands around, having been around in one form or another since 1971, it’s safe to say that Pentagram had a big impact on Sabbath inspired doom metal that was to follow over the next decade. The band also strongly intertwines with the band Bedemon and is sometimes seen as one and the same. Pentagram are considered to be one of the all time classics by many older fans for understandable reasons. Their music can perhaps best be described as “proto-Doom” with a strong resemblance to the first Black Sabbath releases. The unique vocals of Bobby Leibling make sure they have a very unique sound. The first 7” was released under the name Macabre - guitarist Victor Griffin now has a new band called Place of Skulls. - the 1974 7” EP was never officially released and was only released in 100 copies on a test pressing.
Official site: www.myspace.com/livefreeandburn
2) Pentagram is also a death metal band from Chile founded by Anton Reisenegger , which was active in the mid/late eighties. Possessed is clearly one of their main influences, along with Sodom, Master, Sepultura and other metal bands from South America. Still they maintain their own brand of metal, probably the rawest out of the South American scene.
After two demos and one single in 1987 the band disbanded, mainly because no label wanted to sign them. Thirteen years later their demos were again made accessible by Picoroco Records.

Bobby was my uncle's best friend when they were fifteen, they hung out after school every day and listened to Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath records. He said that they were sort of a joke in the music scene in Virginia back then because the only times they played live were in the drummer's dad's warehouse in front of almost nobody. Funny how things have changed so much since then. They still email from time to time and apparantly this whole cult following has gotten to Bobby's head a little.

"Doom" is certainly an apt way of describing this music. The more doom the better!

PENTAGRAM live in the doom center of the universe, New Orleans... they're on the road w/ THE GATES OF SLUMBER. locals THOU, MARS & THE OGGIN open up. this is one of a small handful of shows they're playing, only 2 of which are in the south! NOLA's the furthest west this small tour goes. this will quite possibly sell out, so order tickets in advance: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=520865
