"Washington D.C.’s answer to Black Sabbath, Pentagram are one of the most influential bands of the doom metal genre. [...] The epic guitar work of Victor Griffin helped set the standard for what American doom metal became, especially since the band had been active since the 1970s. The most polarizing member of the band, vocalist Bobby Liebling is very much the U.S. version of Ozzy Osbourne, but without the money or sustained success. the potential for doom metal dominance was never more than a few riffs away from this band’s grasp. Liebling is a soulful singer who complements the vile evil of the guitar tones present. Pentagram is a doom metal staple."
