Pentagram didn’t quite come bursting into the scene in 1985, but neither were they plodding – it was a sort of mid-tempo shuffle between classic Heavy Metal and Trad Doom. Another thing; their riffs weren’t really evil sounding, nor were they somber. The lyrics were Satanic, sure, but the band sounded more like a casual metal band playing slowly rather than anything doomy or evil. The music, and especially the vocals, are far too cheerful for the generic evil lyrics to carry any weight at all. There are some good riffs, but there’s no atmosphere, no mood, and to top it off, the audio quality is really bad. Not a bad release by any means, as all the songs are at least decent, but Pentagram brought absolutely nothing to the table even in 1985, and it certainly doesn’t hold up today.

오지 오스본이 재적할 당시의 블랙새버스 스타일로 오지가 보컬을 해도 딱 어울릴법한 스타일이다. 약간 마이너한 녹음상태가 DaveÅkerfeldt 님 말씀대로 음악스타일/분위기와 딱 어울려 오히려 상승효과를 들려주고 있다. 지금으로 치면 꽤나 오래된 작품이지만 당시에 나온 세인트 비투스의 본투레이트와 함께 명반으로 칭송하고 싶다.

doom/heavy metal výrazne ovplyvnený skupinou Black Sabbath, ktorý ale boli ešte lepší. Podarené zbustrované gitary, spev je na debute skôr priemerný, miestami lepší

Black Sabbath-y early Doom Metal done really good. Some songs are very catchy, some have great riffs, and overall the songs are written so well.

Witchfinder General 과 함께 블랙사바스 추종자 성향을 거침없이 드러내는 펜타그램, 오지의 블랙사바스를 제대로 이어받았다, 레코딩/믹싱 상태는 지금의 기준으로는 엉망이지만 본작 특유의 헤비함을 살리는것에 완벽한 역할을 하고있다,
