Pentagram Chile

Anton remembers the whole Cavalera family gathering around the TV when a commercial announcing the release of Sepultura's debut album was aired on local television.

Now back in Chile, Pentagram consolidated a stable line-up by adding bassist Alfredo "Bey" Peña to their ranks.

This disc, containing the demo songs "Fatal Predictions" and "Demoniac Possession", was released by the owner of the label, a man who called himself Dinosaur and had worked as a roadie for Celtic Frost.

Despite enjoying the recognition of the metal scene, members of Pentagram were discouraged to see that there was no interest from domestic and foreign labels to sign them.

The discomfort that this caused, coupled with the immaturity of its own members, sealed the end for the group, who left the scene in 1988 with a concert at Manuel Plaza with about two thousand people in attendance.

In the search of a new bassist, Reisenegger found Miguel Angel Montenegro, after his stay as a session bass player for Squad and Fallout.

The CD includes the first two demos, that had been previously released in 2000, and the DVD contains the Pentagram Reborn 2001 concert and three presentations in 1987 at gymnasium Manuel Plaza.

[needs update] After three years of waiting since the original announcement, on January 23, 2012, a statement from the official Facebook page of the band was issued: "Just wanted to let you all know we Have Resumed work on the first Pentagram album!

"[This quote needs a citation] The delay was largely due to Reisenegger mainly working with Lock Up and Criminal with whom he released Akelarre in late 2011 and gave several concerts.

[1] In January 2024, the band announced they had signed with Listenable Records and would be releasing their second album, Eternal Life of Madness, on April 26.
