The band continued their live commitments without Liebling throughout 2017, with Turley saying it was “an easy decision” to make, and while he admits he doesn’t know what the future holds, the bassist says Pentagram is bigger than just one member.

He continues: “The ‘Bobby is Pentagram’ argument baffles me. There is and has always been a great team behind him pushing forward. Sorry to disappoint everyone who thinks Bobby steers the ship.

“I’ve been fortunate to be the constant for the last eight years and involved since 1993. There still is an inner drive to move forward and bring the music to whoever will listen.

"I would love to have Bobby at the front of the stage more than you know, but by his own actions/mistakes, he's removed himself.

“I’ve been to see him and keep in regular contact with him and he seems to understand that he ‘messed up.’ Now, he's got some time to work out his demons and try to make things right.

“What’s next for us? I look to keep moving forward.”

Pentagram's most recent album was 2015's Curious Volume.
