Relentless (40th Anniversary)

Ah, Pentagram. The band that has been around for longer than your average housefly, celebrating their 40th anniversary with this reissue of their iconic album "Relentless". And let me tell you, this album is anything but relentless in its ability to rock your socks off. From the moment the first crunchy guitar riff blasts through your speakers, you know you're in for a wild ride. Frontman Bobby Liebling's wailing vocals transport you back to a time when rock 'n' roll was raw, unapologetic, and downright rebellious. It's like taking a time machine back to the 70s, only without the questionable fashion choices. The production may not be as polished as modern standards, but that's part of the charm. It adds a certain grit and authenticity to the sound, making you feel like you're right there in the sweaty, smoke-filled basement where this album was born. Tracks like "All Your Sins" and "20 Buck Spin" showcase Pentagram's signature blend of doom-laden riffs and infectious hooks, while slower, bluesier numbers like "When the Screams Come" provide a nice change of pace. So, if you're in the mood to crank up the volume, grow out your hair, and bang your head like there's no tomorrow, then Pentagram's "Relentless" is the album for you. Long live rock 'n' roll, and long live Pentagram.
