Pentagram, the legendary doom metal band, is set to release their highly anticipated album "Lightning In A Bottle" on January 31, 2025, under the Heavy Psych Sounds label. This 52-minute journey into the depths of doom metal, sludge metal, and stoner rock is a testament to Pentagram's enduring influence and mastery of the genre.
The album opens with "Live Again," setting the tone for the heavy, riff-driven experience that follows. Tracks like "In The Panic Room" and "I Spoke To Death" showcase the band's signature slow, crushing rhythms and haunting melodies. "Lady Heroin" and "Thundercrest" delve into darker, more sinister territories, while "Spread Your Wings" and "Lightning In A Bottle" offer moments of respite with their soaring, uplifting melodies.
Pentagram's signature sound is evident throughout, with Bobby Liebling's powerful vocals and the band's tight, groove-laden instrumentation. The album also includes three bonus tracks: "Start The End," "Might Just Wanna Be Your Fool," and a pre-edit rough mix of "Lady Heroin," offering fans a glimpse into the band's creative process.
"Lightning In A Bottle" is a must-listen for fans of doom metal and a worthy addition to Pentagram's impressive discography. With its powerful riffs, haunting melodies, and crushing rhythms, it's an album that demands to be heard.
