Iconic death-thrash metal outfit Pentagram (Chile) unleash their new album, Eternal Life of Madness. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Anton Reisenegger, guitarist Juan Pablo Uribe, drummer Juan Pablo Donoso, and bassist Juan Francisco Cueto, Pentagram (Chile) march forward from their debut, The Malefice (2013) while preserving the savage DNA that informed Darkthrone, At the Gates, Dismember, Napalm Death, and many others. Indeed, Eternal Life of Madness, featuring the crushing heft of “Possessor,” “El Imbunche,” “The Portal,” and “Deus Est Machina,” is a far-off salute to the group’s classic “Spell of the Pentagram” from their 1987 Demo #1. Pentagram (Chile) don’t exist merely for nostalgia reasons—though supporting Slayer in Santiago in 2019 was a highlight of past accomplishments. Their timely resurrection is unadulterated metallic passion.
