Description

Children, once again, it is time to trash all of your media hyped, watered down, pop-poser metal/mallcore aöni, and pick up a truly worthy Heavy Metal release. First of all, Pentagram are veterans. They’ve been doing this almost as long as Black Sabbath. They are considered the very first American Doom Metal band. ‘Turn To Stone’ is basically a ‘best of’ album containing songs from their first 3 albums. The music is rock n roll from the deepest pits. Dark, brooding, angry at times, depressive at others, with a strong blues/jazz influence in the songwriting. The sound comes very close at times to Black Sabbath’s first 4 albums. Guitarist Victor Griffin was and still is heavily inspired by Sabbath’s Tony Iommi. Not a Black Sabbath rip-off by any means, more like very Sabbath influenced. That means HEAVY, dark, bluesy, and even quite evil sounding. True Heavy Metal in it’s purest form. This is where it’s at. Real songwriting. Real substance. Real METAL! True Metal is almost dead in the mainstream which has been literally flooded with Korn ripoffs, (c)rap-metal, and other watered down, hollow forms of hard pop music. Support real Metal and get this album as Pentagram will remains one of the most influential underground doom metal acts and the tracks on this album features some of the finest 70s doom rock tunes you’re ever likely to hear.
