45 years into its career, PENTAGRAM is ecstatic to announce its first ever promotional video for the title track from the acclaimed album “Curious Volume”, streaming now via Ultimate Classic Rock at: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/pentagram-curious-volume/.
The video for “Curious Volume” was produced by David Hall (Uneasysleeper.com), known for his work with The Melvins, Pig Destroyer, Phillip H. Anselmo and the Illegals, Venom, Brutal Truth, Ken Mode and more, with the live footage shot on tour March – April 2016 by Jerry Moore, Chris Navarro, Joe Shuerger and Dan Lively.
Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling said of the video: “We wanted our first ever video to, in-a-way, be a connection to the past as well as the present. The song can be interpreted as a personal and collective journey that we’ve been on for close to half a decade. It’s a trip that’s both physical and mental and I feel that Dave’s end result illustrates that for us and everyone. The video stands as both an escape and an introduction to us as artists and people. You can feel the rigors and rewards of tour life through the visuals. We love the stardust and psychedelics as well as the raw rock-n-roll energy felt throughout the song and video alike. We hope you connect with it like we do.”
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 line-up), “Curious Volume” was recorded with Swedish producer Mattias Nilsson at studios located in Maryland and Virginia. Additional recording took place in Tennessee with Grammy-nominated producer Travis Wyrick, who also produced Pentagram’s previous album, Last Rites. The album’s cover artwork was provided courtesy of Richard Schouten.
“Curious Volume” was released in August 2015 on Peaceville Records.
Pentagram has been touring extensively to support the album release and continue to do so with shows confirmed during the summer in North America and headline dates in Europe from the end of September. Full tour details can be found on the official Pentagram Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/PentagramUSA.

Legendary U.S. heavy/doom metallers PENTAGRAM have announced a batch of headlining U.S. tour dates this March. Touring in support of its latest album “Curious Volume”, which released last summer on Peaceville Records, PENTAGRAM will be joined on the road by Mondo Drag and King Giant. A full list of confirmed dates can be seen below.
Pentagram has also launched a new official website at: http://www.pentagramofficial.com/. A new webstore will soon follow with exclusive discounts and free giveaways. Stay tuned for more information.
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 line-up), “Curious Volume” was recorded with Swedish producer Mattias Nilsson at studios located in Maryland and Virginia.

Formed in the early 1970’s, through 4 decades of adversity and triumph, PENTAGRAM has become a legendary international act and has firmly stamped their name in the heavy metal history books, with tours planned throughout North America and Europe during 2015 promoting their latest album of electrifying heavy metal, ‘Curious Volume’, which was released August 28th on Peaceville.
Although always a cult act with a strong and dedicated worldwide fanbase, PENTAGRAM had enjoyed a recent surge in interest due in part to the fly-on-the-wall 2011 documentary, ‘Last Days Here’.
The documentary follows the life, trials & tribulations of Bobby Liebling, giving an insight into the turmoil of a troubled rock personality across this feature-length production, with this DVD edition featuring bonus deleted scenes.
The film has so far 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 along with a multitude of other accolades.
Following on from the newly-released and highly praised epic ‘Feel the Misery’, Yorkshire Doomlords MY DYING BRIDE are set to play the Hammer of Doom festival on Saturday night, taking place at Posthalle in Würzburg, Germany on 20-21 November, reported Peaceville Records.
Also playing the festival, on the Friday night, are label mates PENTAGRAM, supporting their recent ‘Curious Volume’ album.
