Along with latest introduction Edwin Folsche (acoustic guitar), they authorized to Displeased Information and released their 1996 debut recording, 5th Moon, and, after time for the energy trio format, 1998’s Trips the Moonstorm. Neither of the helped additional their cause, nevertheless, and when the chance arose for Gubbels to become listed on former users of Asphyx in a fresh project known as Soulburn, Pentacle was relegated to a second concern.
