About the album

Between acclaimed records like 'Relentless' and 'Show ‘Em How,' Pentagram has long been self-aware with their album titles. 'Lightning in a Bottle' is no exception, carrying forward this tradition. This tenth offering from the band sees frontman Bobby Liebling leading a revitalized lineup, including guitarist/producer Tony Reed, drummer Henry Vasquez, and bassist Scooter Haslip. The new ensemble injects vibrant energy into tracks such as "Live Again" and "Solve the Puzzle," reaffirming its unmistakable Pentagram identity through Liebling's charismatic presence and compelling grooves.

Under Reed's production, 'Lightning in a Bottle' echoes Pentagram’s influential legacy, continuing to inspire generations. This album, only their third studio release in 15 years, captures the essence of doom metal while exploring poignant themes. Songs like "Dull Pain" and "Lady Heroin" delve into personal struggles with addiction, offering haunting reflections that resonate deeply. Although steeped in doom's classic sound, tracks like "Thundercrest" bristle with vigor, ensuring that Pentagram remains a formidable force in the genre.
