Washington Pentagram

Pentagram is from Washington DC, a very different thing from Washington state.

 

[CiG]

Oh cheers, I'll fix it.

 

[tagradh]

Too lazy to do this but the correct answer for Virginia has to be Grand Belial's Key.

 

[CiG]

I'm much much much happier with my choice.

 

[Krow]

I'm much much much happier with my choice.

I went with GBK myself, WHW was on my radar for sure but they've released a couple stinkers now.

 

[CiG]

Sure, but 3 masterpieces is nothing to downplay.

Obviously my personal genre preferences heavily sways my choice too.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Pentagram is from Washington DC, a very different thing from Washington state.

They're definitely the best band from the District of Columbia.

 

[Phylactery]

I'd go with Grand Belial's Key as well, although I'm a big fan of While Heaven Wept as well.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

A bit daunting, but I'm game.

 

[Bloopy]
