THE NEW BEDEMON ALBUM IS FINISHED! REALLY! NO, SERIOUSLY...IT IS DONE!

Well, okay, the recording is 100% done, the mixing is 100% done, but the mastering is currently underway, as is finalizing the artwork (already selected).

The past two years have been spent recording the vocals and then mixing, fixing, tweaking and re-mixing until things were just right to everyone's satisfaction. A common reaction from the lucky few who have heard the final unmastered mix - and then sadly had to be executed - is, "Wow, that sounds like something from the 70s...", which really couldn't be a higher compliment. Another comment was, "This sounds like how PENTAGRAM might've sounded in the late 70's if they'd stayed together."

We're already checking out labels while the mastering is being completed and are absolutely confident this will finally see the dark of night sometime this year. It's been too long time a-comin' but thanks for hanging in there. We know meathooks are uncomfortable to say the least and gosh, it's downright chilly in those walk-in freezers. But, we like our fans fresh and tasty.

GEOF AND BOBBY REUNITE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

When Bobby Liebling's current line-up of PENTAGRAM played the House of Blues in Hollywood on July 3rd, 2009, it was not only the first time the band had ever toured the West Coast, it also marked the first time Geof and Bobby were in any contact in about a quarter of a century. "People are sometimes surprised to hear this," says Geof, "but I haven't had a single conversation, e-mail or anything with Bobby since the mid-80s. It was actually very emotional, and we had a great time before and after the gig...and the band were fantastic."

The actual face-to-face reunion was captured on video on the front porch of the House of Blues for possible inclusion in the upcoming documentary, Last Rites: The Fall and Rise of Bobby Liebling.

GEOF FEATURED IN DOCUMENTARY ON THE UNDERGROUND HARD ROCK SCENE

Released on DVD in February, Such Hawks Such Hounds: Scenes from the American Hard Rock Underground is a chronological overview of the heavy metal/stoner rock genre from the 70s to the present. It includes interviews and performances, and Geof is featured in a fairly lengthy segment discussing PENTAGRAM and the scene in the early 70s. While sadly no performance footage exists of the band, a number of their songs are heard in the film and many of Cameron Davidson's rehearsal photos are shown as well. The DVD can be purchased on Amazon and also at the film's official website at http://www.suchhawkssuchhounds.com where you can also view an outtake not on the DVD of Geof discussing the somewhat legendary PENTAGRAM and KISS meeting and the long-standing rumor about them wanting to buy some of the band's songs.
