Jedni z trzech pionierów (obok Saint Vitus i Witchfinder General) amerykańskiego czy jak kto woli "true doom metalu". Początki Pentagram sięgają 1971 r. W 1972 grali blues rocka pod szyldem Macabre, jako znany nam zespół wydali jedno demo i 3 single by znów porzucić pierwotne imię i pograć przez 3 lata jako Death Row. Na odpowiednie tory powrócili w 1983 r. i łoją tego czarnego doom rocka do dnia dzisiejszego.
Dla fanów doomu i okolic pozycja obowiązkowa.
