Flashback - Pentagram

Holy crap, kids, it's that time again: FLASHBACK!  So, the other night I watched an uplifting (weird in this context, I realize) documentary called Last Days Here, about Bobby Liebling, the singer of the doom/stoner band Pentagram since its inception in 1971.  Without going into too much detail (and because you should watch the film yourself), a guy accidentally uncovers the 1985 Pentagram album "Relentless" in a record store, listens to it, feels the lightning bolt, and, when he looks to see if the band still exists, discovers that it has existed off and on through the decades because of Liebling's talent, but that he is a smack addict living in his parents' basement within driving distance; this guy then goes and meets Bobby, and realizes that inside this shell is still the guy who sings on the records, the guy who still creates and wants to live, and helps him get his act together with a new band, album, and tour.  A lot more happens, but the point is, if you're into Black Sabbath or Electric Wizard or ROCKING, put on a diaper and listen to Pentagram (because you'll crap yer pants - do I have to explain that?) - here's "Sign of the Wolf" - CRANK IT!
