PENTACLE – Spectre Of The Eight Ropes gatefold-LP (black)

Much as with the actual style of the music, Pentacle’s stability has manifested itself in other ways. The production is warm, organic, and sounds as old as the music does. The band’s lineup has been unchanged for nearly twenty years now, and the stability can be heard in how tightly the songs lock together. Even the cover art was done by the same guy, Manual Tinnemans, who drew each of the previous Pentacle album covers, and most of their non-album releases. Some years ago Gubbels stated in an interview that he did not know if Pentacle could ever release another full length, but here they are, as are we; Pentacle are here to bring us back to the past, which they never left, and it’d be foolish to deny the journey.
