PENTAGRAM Curious Volume (2015) Digipak CD

Pentagram have been doing this since before most doom bands were born. Formed in Virginia in 1971, they are one of the foundational pillars of American doom metal, and Bobby Liebling remains one of rock's most genuinely haunted frontmen.

Curious Volume, their 2015 record, arrived after the documentary Last Days Here gave the world a closer look at the chaos behind the cult. The album channels that weight into something surprisingly vital, riff-heavy and bleak without being performatively grim. It's doom that earned its darkness the hard way, across five decades of near-misses, breakups, and comebacks. If you know your St. Vitus and your Electric Wizard, Pentagram is the missing piece in your collection.
