PENTAGRAM SPECIAL ON XM/SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO!
Short notice because no one told me about this...I just happened upon it when I was looking at the daily XM/Sirius program highlights website page.
There is a weekly show called Bloody Roots hosted by Ian Christe. This week, the subject is...Pentagram, with songs also played by Bedemon, Death Row and others. Here is the description from the XM/Sirius site:
Bloody Roots of Unsung Doom Legends Pentagram
This week's crash course in headbanger history breaks open the crypt where D.C. area doom legends Pentagram have been entombed for nearly 40 years. As the ultra-heavy pioneers - dubbed "America's answer to Sabbath" - prepare to play handful of rare shows, and as a documentary on the band wraps production, Bloody Roots steps up to the altar with a bone-chilling heavy metal history lesson. Music by Pentagram plus related bands Bedemon and Death Row, plus Pentagram covers by Witchcraft, Cathedral, and Hank Williams III.
***************
There are two airings remaining this week, both EST:
Tuesday at 3 PM and Thursday at 9 PM.
I heard the show on Sunday. Pretty cool, with a couple of things a little inaccurate, such as introducing "When the Screams Come" as being from the "...late 70s" — it was recorded in 1973 — in addition to being an odd choice to play by us when he also played the Witchcraft version twenty minutes later. The most annoying thing was that the Bedemon track he played was the horrible-sounding, too-fast bootleg version of "Nighttime Killers" with out-of-sync vocals. Why he doesn't have an official copy of Child of Darkness, I have no idea, and the title track would have been a much better choice, but, hey...Bedemon on XM radio airing nationally. I can't complain too loudly.
Pretty amazing...

Well, You figure the more shows that the current Pentagram Line-Up play -- the more interest there will be among the metal community... This is all good news for the new Bedemon release..... I really hope u folks consider doing a Vinyl release !(hopefully a Die-Hard with all the goodies - since we have been waiting soo patiently)
