From the US of A come Doom Metallers Pentagram. Last Rites opens with a Melodic Heavy Metal song called “8” which is followed by the instrumental song “All Your Sins (Reprise)”.
The album artwork of a skeleton wearing a hooded gown with a feather in its hand for a pen and a book in its front on a chair with the name Last Rites etched on it reminds me of Skeletor, the villain in He-Man: The Master of Universe.
The songs that I like in Pentagram’s Last Rites are “American Dream”, “Horseman”, “Everything Turning Into Night”, “Call The Man”, “Death In 1st Person”, “Nothing Left”, “Treat Me Right”, “Walk In Blue Light” and “Windmills And Chimes”.
Overall, a highly enjoyable album and worth many a listens.
