PENTAGRAM (CHILE) release lyric video for 'The Portal'
01-03-2024
PENTAGRAM (CHILE) have released the lyric video for “The Portal”. “The Portal” is the first single off the new album “Eternal Life of Madness”, which is due out on Listenable Records on April 26, 2024.
Watch “The Portal” below.
“This was the first song we wrote for the new album in a collaborative effort between guitarist JP Uribe, drummer JP Donoso and myself,” comments band leader Anton Reisenegger. “It obviously has early Slayer written all over it, but other influences such as Celtic Frost and Morbid Angel shine through as well. On this new album we’re not afraid to wear our influences on our sleeves, seeing that most of those bands are no longer in existence or have strayed very far from their original path. This album is the embodiment of old-school death thrash metal!”
“Lyrically, it touches upon a subject which is recurrent in our songs; insanity,” he continues. “There is a fine line between reality and madness, and we like to explore these boundaries and cross them both ways. Both JP Uribe and myself have a history of mental illness in the family, so we find the theme as familiar as it is terrifying. Thus the title ‘Eternal Life of Madness’… a never ending cycle of misery and doom.” »
Pre orders are available AT THIS LOCATION.
Recorded ar JP Donoso’s Sade Estudio (Sadism, Execrator) and with Sebastián Puente at AudioCustom Studio (Lock Up, Nuclear) between November 2021 and May 2023
