Five stars for the doom metal miracles of Pentagram

Given Pentagram singer Bobby Liebling’s gargantuan drug intake over the last forty years, the fact that the diminutive, goggle-eyed rocker continues to croon cult doom metal hits onstage — Pentagram will be at DNA Lounge on Wed/24 — is nothing short of a miracle.

Finally clean at 56, Liebling is back on the road with a talented new incarnation of the band he founded in Arlington, VA in 1971, brandishing a surprisingly intact larynx.

The muscular, down-tuned hard rock hasn’t changed either, not that anyone would want it to. Last fall’s Pentagram show at DNA sold out – don’t sleep on this one!
