Pentagram announces new guitarist

Official press release: After months of searching and reviewing literally hundreds of applicants from around the world, Pentagram is excited to announce Matt Goldborough as their new guitarist. Matt is a Philadelphia based musician, composer and riff aficionado. Versed in many genres of music, Matt's experience outside of the heavy metal world brings a fresh yet classic approach to this genre-defining band. His style hearkens back to the very origins of "heavy metal" itself when heavy blues and psychedelic rock guitarists pioneered the genre in an attempt to harden rock and roll. This of course is exactly what Bobby Liebling and the original Pentagram line up did back in 1971. Having played in a bevy of bands on the East coast, Goldsborough is most recently known as part of the acclaimed Philadelphia rock band, The Great Unknown. His debut with the Ram Family, rounded out by Bobby Liebling on vocals, Greg Turley on bass guitar and Sean Saley on drums, was on April 16th, 2013 at the sold out show at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY. Welcome Matt Goldsborough and Pentagram throughout the summer at the following appearances: 04/25 Berlin, DE Astra Desertfest 2013 04/26 Barroselas, PT Barrosela Metalfest XVI 04/28 London, UK Electric Ballroom Desertfest 2013 05/26 Baltimore, MD Former Sonar Compound - Maryland Deathfest 2013 07/25-28 TBA, Montana Farmageddon Records Music Festival
