Curious Volumeby Pentagram

Pentagram has been a carousel of musicians, but Bobby Liefling is Pentagram. Curious Volume is a great doom album and the most important reason is the recent return of Victor Griffin. The tracks fit well within the Doom metal/Stoner/Sludge scene even though some tracks were written 40 years ago. What makes Pentagram’s music superior on tracks such as on the narrative Devil’s Playground and Close the Casket is the way the pieces are composed. If you have come to know Pentagram, you should enjoy this album as much as most of their catalog. Standout tracks such as Lay Down and Die and Misunderstood will mesh well with their live set, and The Tempter Push is another solid track.
