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

They run in the same orbit as Witchfinder General, Reverend Bizarre, Count Raven, Angel Witch and Church of Misery, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence.
