Cult rock legendBobby Lieblinghas been churning out genre-defining and highly admired hard rock/doom metal for over 40 years withPENTAGRAM. Within its first decade, the band is largely regarded as co-creating two subgenres of hard rock - Heavy Metalat the birth of the 1970s and doom towards its death.

PENTAGRAM's classic"Death Row"- era lineup and the band's debut album,"Relentless"(1984), was inducted intoDecibelmagazine's Hall of Fame in 2010. GuitaristVictor Griffin's invention of the "Drop B" tuning is first heard here. This heavy-handed hallmark went on to influence handfuls of players and defined a subgenre. These numbers recently included JackWhiteand his bandTHE DEAD WEATHERwho cover"Forever My Queen"(Liebling) live. It was also played on late-night talk shows worldwide and even released as a single onWhite's ownThird Man Records.
