Pentagram Chile

The Chilean version of Pentagram was one of the earlier death/thrash bands from South America, formed in 1985 and recording several cult demos in the next couple of years before disbanding. Their style was pretty raw and primitive, even for the mid-eighties, yet they were undeniably influential on the Chilean scene, if not the entire South American extreme metal scene. Technically they never recorded a proper album, as their discography consists of a compilation of demos and a live album (recorded at a reunion gig in 2001), both released many years after the band's initial breakup. Founder Anton Reisseneger later founded Criminal in the mid-nineties.

The band did a reunion tour in 2009, and later decided to reunite. In 2012 came the announcement that their first proper studio album was in the works, as well as an official name change to Pentagram Chile, in deference to Bobby Liebling's Pentagram.
