This is basically what hard rock drumming sounded like though, before guys like Roger Taylor normalised "just pouting and keeping a beat" - listen to Aynsley Dunbar, Mitch Mitchell etc. Rock drummers used to have an actual sense of rhythm, it wasn't all just pattern repetition (NB - metal drumming then becomes a whole different thing)
Saw Bobby Liebling live around 6 yrs ago. He was still rocking hard asf. Looked like he came out of a coffing and just started swining. Fucking happy I got to see them!!
I can imagine Hetfield and Mustaine listening to this stuff, learning it, and then putting their own spin on it. This is what spawned thrash metal for real. This, Budgie, Diamondhead, ground breaking stuff for the time. I frickin love it.
@@PlutoTheGod Bullshit. This sounds like your typical 70's Black Sabbath/Blue Cheer imitation, but with mediocre songs and five years late to the game. Metallica were truly revolutionary for their time and had great songs. That's why we remember bands like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc. It's not good enough to simply be creative or even original; you have to create something that sounds good.
@@MorganEllonYou sound unbelievably retarded, nobody in their right mind would call this an imitation then call Metallica of all bands revolutionary. Stop eating paint chips.
I actually got to see Pentagram back in ‘94 at club called “The Grand” on 14th St in Manhattan. They were on a bill with Iron Man, 13 and from England Cathedral. I remember having a conversation with Lee Dorrian of Cathedral about Pentagram, I didn’t realize who I was to talking to until after the fact.
The definition of " Stoner rock " : " I spent all night after the show downing pints with Lee Dorrian and talking about music ... when I got home late that night it dawned on me I might just had been socializing with that guy from Napalm Death , the vocalist from the Headliners that night , owner of Rise Above recs etc, etc ... "
I have the utmost respect for Pentagram. I got to open for them at a reunion show in the very early 90's at Tiki Fala's in Dumfries, VA....got to see Bobby literally die on stage (or at least walked out on stage after an overdose/adrenaline shot) at The Black Cat in Washington, D.C., which turned into Pentagram Karaoke night...it was weird. Even weirder was ending up driving around the guy (who was an absolute mess at this point) that drove Bobby TO THE SHOW! We all also ended up at some weird ass D.C. college orgy. Oh, the good times!!! Haha. Later in life, I was even asked if I wanted to audition for Pentagram by a member of the band. I wanted to, but declined. My life was at a different point and the Black Cat (Kat?) show was hard to forget.....no matter how fun/interesting/insane the night was!! Pentagram.... still love 'em. \m/..\m/
The correct order from the original demo reel is: 1. Walk In The Blue Light 2. 20 Buck Spin 3. Review Your Choices 4. Forever My Queen 5. When The Screams Come.
Hope people realize the lineup in the photo is not the same as the musicians on this recording. Victor, Marty, and Joe came in about 10 years later(or you could say Bobby essentially joined their band "Death Row" later changing the name to Pentagram.
Was just about to ask. No one dressed like that in the early 70s. I wasn’t aware that one guy was the only original member when they “reformed” in the 80s. Makes sense cause they sound nothing alike.

When Witch Mountain performed with Pentagram @Satyricon Portland, Oregon the first tour following First Daze Here release, I caught Bobby when he walked off the edge of the stage. Or, tripped over his platfom boots head first directiy into my arms, really. Like catching a feather.😈💥

Heavy, heavy, doomy gloomy, (gen X momma) loves this. Never discovered this band until 2023, now I’m hopelessly hooked. Starlady is my fave thus far. ….i love to get lost at the 2 minute mark…..I’m assuming the band name was what kept them from getting famous. Satanic panic 😱
There's a wonderful documentary about Bobby Liebling that goes into detail about what kept them from making it, as well as what led to their eventual success. It's called Last Days Here! It's a must-watch for any Pentagram fan 😊
Almost signed to CBS (thanx to connections with BoC) until Leibling learned the bigwigs were going to get him to sign away the rights to his songs, fire him then bring in a "better" vocalist! Leibling knew of this since someone left the studio intercom on! Almost signed to Casablanca! KISS were sent to recruit new talent and noticed Pentagram. They got to hangout with the BIGGEST band in America (Hell, the world!), ride in their limo... and see them without all that damn makeup! This deal fell through when they wouldn't let Paul Stanley (or Ace Frealy?) have the rights to "star lady".

Black Sabbath and Deep Purple always get the credit for starting heavy metal, but Pentagram also deserves credit. Great music!
Black Sabbath. Deep Purple had nothing to do with it.

I really like the intensive, jazzy drumming, a bit like when Nick Mason or Bill Ward is playing

I would even add Tommy Aldridge in the list of drummers.
VERY Bill Ward-ish, for sure.
I'm 59 years old and I still listen to it as if it were the first time
Keep Rocking Sir.
Best Demo ever! Love the heaviness! Great riffs!
you should try to get your hands on the demo of a band called All Who Oppose. Very limited.
