Awesome!!! the american answer to Black Sabbath...

[TheGreaterGood80]

I've heard people claim that Pentagram were around before Sabbath, but I'm skeptical. There were many heavy bands before Sabbath(Blue Cheer, Sir Lord Baltimore, High Tide, etc), but nobody had Sabbath's sound before they did. That was a 100% original creation.

Ironically, Pentagram only started sounding more like Sabbath in the 80's long after the original lineup had dissolved. Fuck Gene Simmons for passing up a record deal on this band because they didn't have stupid costumes. They were great

@TheGreaterGood80 That band is a fucking joke anyway, They Told Peter Criss he could no longer be in Kiss because he is too old well he is fucking better then Gene Simmons, And Pentagram fucking Rule, Hopefully the film gives Bobby some money and Pentagram some Fame so they do a few shows and Hopefully a promoter brings em to Australia. Loved since 2004 And i was 16, God Show En How is a fucking GREAT album.

@Blashphemya I love pentagram, but I'm not really sure who was first, the timeline is not very clear because sabbath was formed at the end of 60's too... Polka Tulk and Earth (1968) Black Sabbath (08/1969) first Lp 01/1970.

@TheGreaterGood80 Check out Livin' in a Ram's Head by Stone Bunny (pre-pentagram, 1970). Bad quality but heavy. A lot of Pentagram's heavier stuff was never properly recorded, a lot of it was self recorded on rehearsal tapes. They recorded more of their hard rock stuff in the studios since they had a better chance of getting radio play. Songs like Burning Rays, Devil Child, and The Bees, weren't that radio friendly.

@Blashphemya black sabbath have been calling themselves that and making this style of metal since '69-'70. pentagram was truely one of the first bands influenced by sabbath though....but just like sabbath neither gained substantial notoriety until the 80's. all in all....sabbath came first. And if you're saying they called themselves something before that, well, so did sabbath. They were a blues band called "Earth" in like '68. I love both bands, just correcting your "facts."

holy crap, what an awesome booming intro, the stuff i love!!!

[Masterbacon1000]

As much as a like Pentagram, they are a far cry from Sabbath.

Pentagram was not before Black sabbath, in any way shape of form. Ward-Iommi-Osbourne and Butler had all been playing together since 1967 as Earth(they changed their name to Black Sabbath in 68). to put it in perspective, Bobby Liebeling would've been about 13 years old around that time.
