The Chilean version of Pentagram (not to be confused with either the American doom band Pentagram or the Turkish Pentagram) was one of the earlier death/thrash bands from South America, formed in 1985 and recording several cult demos in the next couple of years before disbanding. Their style was pretty raw and primitive, even for the mid-eighties, yet they were undeniably influential on the Chilean scene, if not the entire South American extreme metal scene. Technically they never recorded a proper album, as their discography consists of a compilation of demos and a live album (recorded at a reunion gig in 2001), both released many years after the band's initial breakup. Founder Anton Reisseneger later founded Criminal in the mid-nineties, and is still active in that band today.
