Pentagram are the long-running American heavy metal band but you should know who they are by now, most famous as one of the pioneers of doom metal even though they were never really a doom band. The band was quite prolific in the underground scene of the 1970s, producing many demos and rehearsal tapes, but did not release a full-length album until reforming in the early 1980s with an almost completely new lineup. Throughout the band's history the only constant member has been vocalist Bobby Liebling. The revolving lineup of Pentagram has featured many well-respected musicians in the local doom metal scene, with members spending time in other acts such as Raven, The Obsessed, Place of Skulls, Internal Void, and Spirit Caravan. The story behind Pentagram and Bobby Liebling is the stuff of legends, a hell of a lot has been written, some of it is true while a lot of other articles have been nothing but pure lies or based on rumor. The 'Last Days Here' movie which hopefully will soon be released on DVD gives a good insight to Bobby and why the band never made it big. Once you see the movie, you will understand why more clearly. I don't want to dwell on the negatives with regard to the bands past, so lets celebrate the present and the future and their new album. -Read the full review at Doommantia.
A new album from these old legends, check it out & deceide for yourself! Released through Metal Blade.

The musicians on this album are very good, and there are some very good guests, too. They include Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall), Markus Sigfridsson (7Days, Harmony & Dark Water), Andreas Passmark (Royal Hunt & Narnia), CJ Grimmark (Narnia, Rob Rock & Full Force), and most notably Thomas Vikström (Therion, Candlemass,7Days & Mehida). Besides these great voices, the instrumental sections stand out, too. Both the keyboards and guitars mix very well throughout the whole album and especially well on "To Love and Forget" and "Send Me Out". The guitar solo near the end of the latter really exemplifies great musicianship and control. These two elements are what really make this album stand out a bit more than the rest of the field. While most power metal is mainly a chorus and then maybe some solos and such, Eye of the Storm mixes these elements around to create a unique yet constant feel. Through the 50 some minutes that this album lasts it does tend to get a little repetitive in the middle and towards the end.

Our newfound home at Progrock Records brings a great sense of both achievement and fulfillment, and we are confident that Dimension Act and Progrock Records together can build the foundation needed for a long and prosperous career. Sharing label with Frameshift, who is responsible for one of the greatest debut prog albums the last 10 years is also quite a bonus, to say the least. And what about those Roswell Six albums?

Xandria – Neverworld’s End (2012)
Feb 22, 2012 11:42
Heavy Metal |Power Metal
Xandria is best known for their famous video for the track, "Ravenheart", off their second album of the same name, released in 2004. The video and song are considered to be a classic of the female lead metal genre. This Bielefeld, German band is made up of Manuela Kraller, on vocals; Philip Restmeier and Marco Heubaum, on guitar; Nils Middlehauve, on bass; and Gerit Lamm, on drums.
This band deserves to join the Napalm Records Pantheon of female lead symphonic metal bands. Napalm has created an unmatched stable of bands in this genre including, Edenbridge, Stream of Passion, Nemesea, and Visions of Atlantis. Thankfully there are no controls on the monopoly of talent in the recording industry, because Napalm has got a lock on the female lead symphonic metal genre. The label's talent recruiter/developer should win an award for the vast talent he/she has assembled.
But enough about Napalm…on to Xandria!
Why do they belong in the Pantheon? Well, let's start with Manuela Kraller. She possesses distinct vocals with plenty of range that do not make you want to turn down the volume or the treble nob. Kraller's vocals give Xandria that extra edge that others in this genre do not possess. But that is only the glorious beginning. The match of innovative lead guitar licks and perfect keyboard interludes helps define their sound and provide the distinctive moments which separates them from the rest of the bands in the genre.
This is the album to shoot for this year, in this genre. The engineering, production, orchestration, and mixing is all set at elite levels.
The gauntlet has been laid down. Right now Xandria's hand is full of aces!
