U.S. doom metal legends PENTAGRAM will release an extensive double-disc DVD collection, titled “All Your Sins”, on February 23 via Peaceville. The set features over six hours of numerous electrifying concerts spanning three decades — all straight from the band’s collection.
A trailer for “All Your Sins” can be seen below.
PENTAGRAM, the highly influential American heavy metal/doom act fronted by mastermind Bobby Liebling, formed in the early 1970s, though their debut album — now known as “Relentless” — didn’t see a release until 1985. Through four decades of adversity and triumph, PENTAGRAM has become a legendary international act and have firmly stamped their name in the heavy metal history books.
This first-ever official PENTAGRAM video collection, “All Your Sins” recovers, repairs and resurrects the earliest known footage of these doomed metal pioneers and more. It contains two DVDs packed with priceless archive footage, as well as recent shows, “All Your Sins – Video Vault”. This definitive collection features numerous historical shows, including a charged performance in 1985 at the legendary CBGB club in New York City, with a mass of classic renditions from the band’s catalogue finally gathered together for a live journey spanning over 30 years.
Although always a cult act with a strong and dedicated worldwide fanbase, PENTAGRAM has enjoyed a recent surge in interest due in part to the fly-on-the-wall 2011 documentary “Last Days Here” following the life, trials & tribulations of Bobby Liebling. The film gained international recognition; travelling the worldwide film festival circuit where it won several awards including “Best Music Documentary” at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam.
In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne said that he saw the “Last Days Here” documentary, calling it a “very, very sad story, because [Bobby is] a guy… He’s the only child of his elderly mom and dad and he lives in a crack-smoking, heroin-using world. And why that guy is still alive is beyond me. I mean, I’ve been there, done it, and by the grace of God, I got out of it. But, you know, I hope the guy doesn’t die.”
Ozzy added: “I hope he has [cleaned up] because that video was like a good reason not to get stoned. And you know, for what it’s worth: That could have been me. That could have been any number of people. That’s why I say to myself every day, ‘God, you’re fucking lucky, Ozzy!'”
