Awesome release of early Pentagram material. Not as good as "First Daze Here", but helluva lot better than any output from most heavy rock bands today. Fans of Leaf Hound, Stooges, early Blue Cheer and of course Black Sabbath should check this out. Also you should check out Witchcraft for that early 1970's sound.

I'll be honest, I don't know what doom is but this doesn't sound like it to me. This is some of the best Rock n Roll I've ever heard. It sounds like Love, the Stooges, and Black Sabbath all rolled into one. I cannot think of anything cooler than that.

What if this fine band from Virginia would have recorded a bunch of albums at the appropriate time, just when they should have? What if they had recorded, mixed and produced in a decent but still heavy way these heavily riffed gems for the release of a couple complete albums? Would they then be as big as Sabbath or so?
Demos, rehearsals and some other raw stuff make this a lot different than the Pentagram we have known. This is much closer to the psychedelic hard rock sound of 70s bands like Jerusalem, T2, Sir Lord Baltimore or even Hendrix and Zeppelin. It includes a cover of the Stones' "Under My Thumb" for Christ's sake! It's an essential purchase not only for heavy metal or doom fans but also for all those who keep looking for that marvelous underground 70s hard rockin gems like the ones i refered to before. This is our chance to listen to that much influental band being influented by others.
Once again Relapse Records did an excellent work with the packaging. 28-page booklet, lyrics, photos, what else would you expect?
So, to answer that previous stupid question of mine, maybe Pentagram would never become as huge as Black Sabbath but they surely deserve a lot more than they ever got. Too vintage, too pure to be famous.
