pentagramdoom2015bandpromo_638Legendary U.S. heavy/doom metal band Pentagram will release its new studio album, “Curious Volume”, on August 28 via Peaceville Records.

The track ‘Misunderstood’, taken from “Curious Volume”, can be streamed using the SoundCloud widget below.

Featuring 11 classic heavy metal compositions with catchy hooks from core band members Victor Griffin, Greg Turley and Bobby Liebling (Pete Campbell on the drums completes the band’s lineup), “Curious Volume” was recorded with Swedish producer Mattias Nilsson at studios located in Maryland and Virginia. Additional recording took place in Tennessee with Grammy Award-winning producer Travis Wyrick, who also helmed Pentagram‘s previous album, “Last Rites”. The album’s cover artwork was provided courtesy of Richard Schouten.

To support the new album, the band has tours planned in North America and Europe throughout 2015 and 2016.

Pentagram, the highly influential American heavy metal/doom act fronted by mastermind Bobby Liebling, formed in the early 1970s, though their debut album — now known as “Relentless” — didn’t see a release until 1985. Through four decades of adversity and triumph, Pentagram has become a legendary international act and have firmly stamped their name in the heavy metal history books.

This first-ever official Pentagram video collection, ‘All Your Sins’ recovers, repairs and resurrects the earliest known footage of these doomed metal pioneers and more. It contains two DVDs packed with priceless archive footage, as well as recent shows, ‘All Your Sins – Video Vault’. This definitive collection features numerous historical shows, including a charged performance in 1985 at the legendary CBGB club in New York City, with a mass of classic renditions from the band’s catalogue finally gathered together for a live journey spanning over 30 years.

Although always a cult act with a strong and dedicated worldwide fanbase, Pentagram has enjoyed a recent surge in interest due in part to the fly-on-the-wall 2011 documentary ‘Last Days Here’ following the life, trials & tribulations of Bobby Liebling. The film gained international recognition; travelling the worldwide film festival circuit where it won several awards including “Best Music Documentary” at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam.
