Swedish heavy metal veterans Lion's Share have unleashed the official music video for their latest single, "Pentagram", off their upcoming album Inferno.
The song, which kicks off Inferno with a dark and uncompromising tone, delivers classic heavy metal authority with sharp riffs, commanding vocals, and a sinister edge that makes it a natural introduction to the album.
Vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson explains the inspiration behind the lyrics: "The song was inspired by a colleague of mine ā a quirky guy in his 60s, a huge fan of heavy metal and black metal.
At some point he decided he was a Satanist.
Since he didnāt want to keep his Christian first name, he simply flipped the letters around and officially registered a new one.
I found the whole thing both dark and hilarious, and wrote a lyric about it." Guitarist Lars Chriss adds: "āPentagramā was a given choice as the opening track on Inferno.
It immediately defines the atmosphere of the album ā dark, heavy, and straight to the point.
It sets the listenerās mindset from the very first second." The accompanying black-and-white band performance video was filmed in November 2025 and directed by Tom Wouda.
Featuring gritty, fast-cut performance footage shot in an industrial workshop filled with chains and heavy machinery, the video channels a modernized āPainkillerā vibe, perfectly aligning with the songās dark and foreboding atmosphere.
Inferno will be released on March 27 via Metalville.
Lion's Share are confirmed for Alive Festival in BorlƤnge, Sweden, July 2ā4, 2026.
