\m/ 80's metal \m/

Once upon an Easter Sunday in the year 2011 it came to pass that Pentagram was to visit Finland on their 40th anniversary tour, and Svart Records alerted their best audio tech staff to record this historical event. The live album project took hundreds of hours of work - from the meticulous recording of the actual concert through the mixing board and several carefully placed microphones to the tireless post-production process. The resulting album Live Rites is a very crisp-sounding document of how Pentagram sounded on their jubilant anniversary tour - vivid, crunchy and all the way alive.

The album is available on vinyl only, all on transparent gray vinyl and wrapped in a thick gatefold jacket with a big 16-page booklet glued inside. Also includes exclusive live photos, liner notes and a copy of the gig poster too. Limited to 700 copies only, no represses or reissues on CD/MP3 will be made available in the near or distant future.
