Pentagram To Release New Album In January 2025

American doom metal pioneers Pentagram has announced a brand new studio album, entitled "Lightning In A Bottle." The record is scheduled to be released through Heavy Psych Sounds on January 31st. In anticipation of the release, the band has released a new song, "Thundercrest," which premiered earlier today at Metal Sucks.

The band states: "This is our brand new single after long years. It's called 'Thundercrest' and it follows in the intensity and heavyness our passion to play heavy music. We hope that the song gives you the intensity like driving straight through a brick wall."

The 10th Pentagram album sees founding frontman and doom figurehead Bobby Liebling leading a new cast of players that includes guitarist/producer Tony Reed (Mos Generator, Big Scenic Nowhere, etc.), drummer Henry Vasquez (Legions of Doom, Saint Vitus, Blood of the Sun, etc.) and bassist Scooter Haslip (Mos Generator, Saltine). It would be hard to overstate the energy the new band brings to songs like "Live Again," "Solve The Puzzle" or "In The Panic Room," but Lightning in a Bottle is unmistakably a Pentagram record, of course in Liebling’s unremittingly charismatic performance and the groove conjured to back it.

Recorded with Reed at the helm, Lightning in a Bottle recalls the best of what has allowed Pentagram to cast an influence across decades and generations of musicians, bands, and worshippers of Riff, and as just their third studio release in the last 15 years, it’s not a moment to neglect as they dig into a cut like "Dull Pain" or "Lady Heroin," the latter of which is a naked reconciliation on the part of Liebling with a lifelong addiction to opiates that’s become an inextricable part of the Pentagram story. As he wonders in the lyrics, “Lady Heroin, have I seen the last of you?” it becomes difficult to know whether the separation would be through sobriety or death, and that ambiguity becomes part of what makes the song so striking.

It’s not all brooding, even if it is doom. "Thundercrest" is brash and the nodding title-track brings to mind past glories without actually reliving them. The central message, any way you want to look at it, is that no matter how much the band has been through over the last half-century-plus, they remain a singular force. "Lightning In A Bottle" might not be the first Pentagram reboot, but it brings fresh ideas and dynamic to one of doom’s most classic, formative acts, and as soon as you hit play, the band absolutely own the moment of their own making.

Tracklisting:

1. Live Again
2. In The Panic Room
3. I Spoke To Death

The Halo Effect Posts "March Of The Unheard" Video

Swedish melodic death metal rising stars The Halo Effect has just dropped the official music video for their powerful new single, "March Of The Unheard," the title track from their highly anticipated sophomore album, set to be released on January 10th, 2025.

The visually stunning video matches the intensity of the song, blending dark, atmospheric imagery with explosive performance shots, delivering a cinematic experience that complements the band’s signature sound.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from The Halo Effect. The upcoming album "March Of The Unheard" promises to showcase the band's evolving artistry while staying true to the melodic death metal roots that their fans have come to love.

Guitarist Niclas Engelin comments on the song: "This song is based around the melody theme for the intro on all our ninety-six shows. I just got the idea of starting the whole album with this theme and building a full song around it. Mikael took the whole song to another level with his lyrics, which enlighten the need for our society to hear the voices of the unheard - the powerless."

He continues: "We are all suckers for melancholic melodies in an up tempo beat, and add some harmonies to that, and we get a beautiful Halo song. Working with the mighty Gothenburg Marching band "Göta Lejon" just blew our minds both in the studio and live.. damn they are powerfull!" More...
