#Bobby Liebling PENTAGRAM

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

ETERNAL SPOKESMAN FOR THE SUPER-SEVENTIES DOOMED GENERATION.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on pioneering American heavy rock/DOOM metal frontman, Bobby Liebling, vocalist lyricist for heavy metal band, PENTAGRAM, c. early to mid '70s, USA.

"Some people thinkI'm an advocate of Lucifer, And some say I'm a child of God -- yes they do, Some people think I've got the nine lives of a cat, And others say I'm filthy as a dog, So you be forewarned, I'm coming after you, About the time I catch up to you, I'll never, No I'll never, I'll never let you go -- alright!"

-- "Be Forewarned" (1994) by PENTAGRAM

Pentagram & Dun Rigill@JunkYard, 09.08.2023

Wieder mal indoor, aber bei diesem verregneten Wetter ist das auch ok. War ganz schön voll und komisches Publikum, denn von Metallern, die jünger waren als die CDs, die ich zum Signieren der 50 Jahre alten Band mitgebracht habe, war alles bis ins hohe Alter vertreten. Die Schweden von Dun Rigill kannte ich noch nicht, aber haben einen satten Doomsound mit gelegentlichem Gegröle geliefert. Auch deren Frontmann schien mit der grauen Matte schon lange der Jugend entwachsen und blätterte immer wieder old school im Textbuch, um der senilen Wortfindung entgegen zu wirken. Jedoch war die Show sehr cool und sie hatten auch die erste von zwei Scheiben nach ihrem Debut dabei, von denen die nächste dann in Bälde veröffentlicht wird. Bei Pentagram war ich echt gespannt, denn ich habe sie auch schon mal beim Rock Hard Festival outdoor erleben dürfen, war aber nicht so begeistert. Hier hingegen war es großartig bis auf den Jungspund neben mir, der nach fast jedem Song lauthals aufschrie, als ob ihm jemand einen Amboss um den Sack geschnürt hätte. Die Show war aber auch super. Sänger Bobby, der gerade 70 geworden ist, war topfit und entfesselte neben seinem hypnotisierenden Blick auch einige mystische Bewegungen/Tanzmoves zum 70er Jahre Doom Metal-Sound. Dazwischen immer wieder ein Blick zu seiner dickbusigen Mitte bis Ende 30er Muse, die im Backstage noch "Stützenhilfe" für den Sänger gab. Gitarrist Victor war wie immer super und der Sound war schön laut, wenn auch nicht durchweg gut gemischt. Dennoch geniale Stimmung und ein echter Spaß. Auch zum lässigen Eintrittspreis von 30 Euro kann man bei so einer Kultband nichts sagen. Lustige Anekdote, als ich Victor Griffin nach der Show auf unser Treffen im Backstage bei Cathedral als Vorband von Black Sabbath (1994) ansprach: "Die haben mich damals rausgeschmissen." Was für ein Fehler! ;-)

"PENTAGRAM WAS NEVER A "SATAN" BAND LIKE PEOPLE THINK IT WAS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American heavy metal/DOOM band, PENTAGRAM, during the band's 1980s/"Relentless" debut album era. Plus a shot of band founder/vocalist/lyricist Bobby Liebling, from the same photo-shoot.

BOBBY LEIBLING: "PENTAGRAM was never a “Satan” band like people think it was, it was always just giving you the layout, like the album says, of your choices, because you have to make a choice, and there are two ways you can go. The songs were sort of like warning,s and people mistook those for us being black metal and all that kind of stuff. Then came the eras of the death metal and black metal bands, a lot of them were influenced [by us] supposedly, and they tell me on tours and stuff, but, you know…"

Wednesday, April 5: Pentagram (Mezarkabul), “Livin’ on Lies”

Mezarkabul still went by Pentagram when they released Trail Blazer, and at the time it didn’t seem like such a big deal since Bobby Liebling was still toiling in obscurity in the early ‘90s.  To be fair, so was the Turkish act: although “Livin’ on Lies” was released on Nuclear Blast, this was well before the label had anything resembling a footprint, so Mezarkabul’s low-budget fusion of traditional heavy metal and thrash didn’t find many takers.  It was still a fun sound, though, and there was a sense of unpretentious fun to the whole affair.
