Pentagram is a Doom metal act. Their sound grew out of Trouble, Saint Vitus, Captain Beyond, Kiss and Blue Öyster Cult.

They run in the same orbit as Saint Vitus, Witchfinder General, Reverend Bizarre, Candlemass and Count Raven, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, Cathedral, Reverend Bizarre, Candlemass and Saint Vitus, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
