PENTACLE picture
Pentacle is a Dutch death metal band. Chained within the mythical realms of primeaval black/death metal, so graciously unveiled in the early 80's by hallowed cults such as Venom, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Possessed, Messiah, Destruction, Necrovore, Bathory, Treblinka, Slaughter (CAN) and Necrophagia, Pentacle's sepul­chral tribute, to this unforgotten legacy, started back in winter '89/'90 when Mike (guitar), Wannes (bass/vocals) and Marc (drums) joined forces. After so many years of active service, the musical concept of the band is still firmly rooted in the golden ‘80’s, though remains far from being a mere copycat of the forefathers of extreme Metal. Don’t make the mistake to file Pentacle under the current retro-trend. They started performing their music when only a selected ( and loyal) audience still was interested in this honest style of music. Others sailed the seas of successive trends. Pentacle didn’t. Together with an obscure, yet individual lyrical approach, the read more...

PENTACLE Under the Black Cross

Despite the band’s seventeen year existence, I’ve not had the pleasure of hearing any of Pentacle’s old-school styled Death Metal before now. Best described as Classic Death Metal in the vein of early Celtic Frost & Possessed, ‘Under The Black Cross’ is rough, raw & relentless.

A concept album based on a WWII Naval battle, what we have here is 9 songs worth of pummeling, authentic Metal. Everything from the instrument tones to the song arrangements literally scream “old school”, but most definitely not contrived. This is the real deal. Every song, including the Necrovore cover, is a ripper.

Pentacle is a band not interested in redefining the genre, but rather reminding us what real Death Metal sounds like. They do not waver, they do not falter, they do not fail. ‘Under The Black Cross’ should be on every Metal fan’s want list.
