Today we're discussing Relentless, the debut album by Pentagram. Most people are familiar with this band because of the viral video of singer Bobby Liebling staring at what we can only imagine is God. But Pentagram formed in the early 70s and is credited with pioneering doom metal. Bobby Liebling, on the other hand, has a backstory to match his face. But how well does the album actually hold up?

Today we're discussing every album by Amebix. Credited with almost single-handedly pioneering crust punk, Amebix were a band like no other. They began as bitter punk before evolving into brutal metal, influencing bands like Neurosis, Sepultura, and Faith No More in the process. Led by Rob "the Baron" Miller (who is now a world-renowned swordsmith) and his brother, Chris "Stig" Miller, Amebix were one of the gnarliest punk bands in history.
