pentagram

Which bands will you be seeing, what festivals are on your radar and how can you get tickets?

There have been a lot.

Take it slow as we count down the best the doom metal world has to offer.

Pentagram recently unleashed a big ole double disc live DVD compilation known as All Your Sins and have now graced the interwebs with a snippet of the set.

Admittedly, I was a latecomer to Pentagram...I first heard the band back in 2002 when Relapse Records released First Daze Here (The Vintage Collection) and instantly started picking up anything I could get my hands on (which wasn't an easy task as their stuff was hard to find and expensive when you did come across something)...

I can't help it man...I've been obsessed with metal since I was fourteen years old when I first heard Metallica and I gotta say right now is an excellent time to be a metal fan. I've never seen so many quality releases in such a short period of time...

I've got to say Ghost's "Opus Eponymous" is one of the best metal releases I've heard in years. It's not that the band reinvented the wheel...in fact, it's more like they took a wheel from 1985, polished it and made it like new. The first sarcastic thought that went through my mind the first time I heard it was, "These dudes don't listen to Mercyful Fate"...
