PENTAGRAM (Chile) - Possessor (Official Video)

PENTAGRAM (Chile) - Possessor
taken from the album ‘ Eternal Life Of Madness’
Release date : April 26th , 2024

"'Possessor' has an obvious Celtic Frost reference, as they were always a main influence for us," comments vocalist/guitarist Anton Reisenegger. "But it also has all the Pentagram trademarks: the 'spider riffs', as Shane [Embury] calls them, the tone-semitone-tone-semitone scales, the abrupt rhythm changes, etc. And the lyrics deal with good old demoniac possessions. We've played this song live a few times already, and it went down a storm. We wanted to keep the video simple, just capturing the band playing on stage with no gimmicks, and I think it turned out great!"

Directed by Carlos Toro for Abysmo Films.

“This was real, unvarnished 1st generation Death Metal, full of twisted, mesmerizingly evil riffs. And the riffs seemed inexhaustible, each one leading into another, somehow even more sinister sequence. It was as impactful as hearing something like Seven Churches or Scream Bloody Gore for the first time. [...] The band's sound has remained intact and is just as timeless, powerful and horrifying now as it was in the 80s (and still was in the mid-90s when they first assaulted my eardrums).”
Matt Harvey (EXHUMED, LEFT TO DIE, GRUESOME)

“It was quite inspiring way back in the day to know that these maniacs were flying the flag for metal even living under a fucking dictatorship! HAIL PENTAGRAM!”
Danny Lilker (NUCLEAR ASSAULT, S.O.D., BRUTAL TRUTH)

“The vicious, desperate aggression, the haunting guitar tone, the howling vocals tearing at your soul, all those essentials that are the heart of the essence of what is Pentagram Chile's South American assault, I can't get enough of it!”
Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES, DISFEAR, LOCK UP)

“As Pentagram being a huge influence on me when I first started playing, hearing the new album gives me goosebumps! True genuine metal the way I like it, ripping guitar riffs and Anton’s vocals kill!!! This is a must for anyone calling themselves a metal head!”
Richard Cabeza of DISMEMBER.

Really makes me want to get back in the game! I’m only in my 50s. Blow the dust of the 4 guitars hanging on my wall!! lol

[TheTrueThanatos]

Pentagram en los 90s hubiera estado al mismo nivel de Cannibal, At The Gates, Dismember, Napalm Death y varias bandas de death metal que salieron en esa época.

Que bueno que regresaron pero en serio. Los bangers queremos escuchar más material del que tenían y hasta ahora Anton y cia van en buen camino.

[ivanlagos]

El álbum es chacal, es la raja. Disfrútenlo

Perdón la ignorancia...el director del video es el mismo que le grabó un video musical a arch enemy?

[PulgeitorChile]

Excelente tema Pentagram, como siempre no defraudan

[denisvaldes]

Con todo el flujo primario de la era oscura de los 80s, violencia en su estado puro y siniestro, un power death thrash metal oscuro de la mas madrastra degollada por guitarras puntiagudas y filosas , con voces desgarradoras del inframundo y la supermakina golpeando duro los tarros del infierno terrible por dioos...!!...me gusta esa sensacion de encierro sofocante...abysmo film lo logra otra vez..!!!
