Pentacle is a Dutch death metal band formed in 1989 in Bladel by bassist and vocalist Wannes Gubbels. The outfit stands as a dedicated fortress of traditional death metal and a deeply respected veteran of the European underground. The band's sonic signature is uncompromising "Ancient Death Metal" heavily inspired by pioneers such as Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Possessed, and Venom—built upon crushing mid-tempo riffs, a raw, dark sound, heavy rhythms, and ferocious vocals. Conceptually and lyrically, the band is strictly dedicated to military history (frequently focusing on World War II), ancient battles, honor, darkness, and occult lore.
