PENTAGRAM’s most recent album, Last Rites, was released via Metal Blade Records on April 14, 2011 and their first ever official DVD (also out on Metal Blade), When the Screams Come, on August 30, 2011. Both releases were met by rave reviews from fans and critics alike and saw the band playing sets at infamous SXSW festival in Austin, Texas as well as tours across the US and dates in Europe.

Recently, after months of searching and reviewing literally hundreds of applicants from around the world, PENTAGRAM announced the addition of their new guitarist Matt Goldborough. His debut with the “Ram Family,” rounded out by Bobby Liebling on vocals, Greg Turley on bass guitar and Sean Saley on drums, was on April 16th, 2013 at the sold out show at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY. If that gig wasn’t special enough, the band performed songs not heard live in over 40 years! Inspired by a demand from the fans, Liebling and company pulled out rare gems, including Be Forewarned. This track and more can be viewed now at:

PENTAGRAM live at Saint Vitus Bar, Apr 16th. 2013

Featuring the return of FATES WARNING’s original guitarist and founding member Victor Arduini, FREEDOMS REIGN were introduced the world earlier this year when Italian Metal label Cruz Del Sur announced their signing. Since then, the band has been steadily gaining momentum through critical praise of the debut and their energetic live show. The release of Freedoms Reign was timed to coincide with, and celebrate, the 29th anniversary of the release of FATES WARNING’s debut album, Night on Bröcken.

Last month, the band debuted a video for the track Up From Down. Listen to and watch the video below!

_____________________________________

Freedoms Reign is available at: http://www.cruzdelsurmusic.com.

FREEDOM’S REIGN has been active in the Connecticut Metal scene since 2011. The idea behind the band’s formation was to simply make some great music that returned the musicians involved to their roots and could deliver on their commitment to making some Old School Metal that would be relevant in today’s scene. Expect nothing less than a true return to heavy, hard and driving Old School Metal. The band’s self-titled debut was produced by Nick Belmore (Toxic Holocaust/Hatebreed) at Dexters Lab in Milford, CT.

Keeping his original, charismatic and unmistakable guitar-style untouched, FATES WARNING founder Victor Arduini returns to the spotlight with fresh enthusiasm and dedication, producing a notable effort of true American-styled Heavy Metal with a classic Ozzy/Sabbath’s flavor.

FREEDOM’S REIGN is: Victor Arduini (Ex-Fates Warning) on Vocals & Guitar, Tommy Vumback (Guitar), Mike Jones (Bass) and Chris Judge (Drums).
