Pentagram‘s return to the stage was previously announced as part of Maryland Doom Fest 2019, though just who would be involved was something of a mystery. Perennially troubled frontman Bobby Liebling has returned to the band — you might recall guitarist Victor Griffin took the forward spot in 2017 following a mess around Liebling copping an assault charge and going to jail as a result, which itself followed accusations of sexual harassment on tour — and while Griffin is out of Pentagram at this time, his nephew, bassist Greg Turley, remains, and drummer “Minnesota Pete” Campbell continues to hold down that role.

Matt Goldsborough (ex-The Skull, ex-Carousel) has filled in for Griffin before and will do so again as they take to the road in March for a tour that will hit spots in the Midwest and Southeast. I’m not going to be so foolish as to predict what the future of Pentagram will hold, but as of now these shows are happening and that’s that. So there you go. Brother Dege and Dirty Streets — whose new album I never even got to hear, which made me a little sad — will support.

From the PR wire:

Everything’s turning to night….

Doom metal patriarchs PENTAGRAM take the stage in 10 American cities this March 2019.

Remorseful and rehabilitated, legendary frontman and co-founder Bobby Liebling returns for a string of live performances. Greg Turley, longtime bass player and “Ram Family” member by blood, will appear alongside Liebling, drummer “Minnesota Pete” Campbell and the reemergence of Philadelphia’s electric axeman Matthew Goldsborough (Pentagram, ex-The Skull).

Experience a high volume delivery of their revered hard rock & doom metal classics that cover their near half-century career. This relentless setlist is sure to shine a blue light on Liebling’s pioneering “First Daze” favorites.

Handpicked support acts BROTHER DEGE, a NOLA soul who’s been called the “haunted enigma of 21st century delta blues” and Memphis’ hard rolling, blues-rocked power trio DIRTY STREETS complete this exceptional bill.
