Pentagram (1985 - 1992, 2007 - present)

Pentagram was the first band that played, being the voice, guitar and frontman. The group first appeared on December 28, 1985 with the lineup: Anton (vocals and lead guitar), Juan Pablo Uribe (guitar), and Eduardo Topelberg (drums).

By 1987 the band recorded a demo in which Anton had to improvise the bass. Due to limited media coverage of the genre at the time, the same fans were responsible for spreading discs of different groups, this by the simple exchange of cassettes between them. Thus "Demo I" became quite popular within the extreme metal underground scene.

In September of that, throw the second demo, called Demo II, getting a good reception. Thanks to the internal diffusion the band could record a single in Switzerland, supported by Chainsaw Murder Records label.

The motivation of the group from the reluctance of national and international labels for their music, led to its quality and ingenuity falls. The group had gone from boom to disappointment. All this, plus the immaturity of the members led to the separation of the group.

Fallout (1989)

This was a fairly short-lived project, in fact lasted only one year in the group and then withdrew, the style was more influenced by the thrash and power metal, unlike his previous project that was clearly death metal.

Suggest two demos that did not seem to have much support.

Yet despite the limited success of his latest project, this was the prelude to what would be his most ambitious and well-known product: Criminal.

Pentagram goodbye to His audience in 1988 at the Manuel Plaza Before a crowd of 2000 people.

With Criminal Background (1991 - present)

Undoubtedly this has been the potential output in which all ideas are channeled his musical journey surfaced. Criminal born in 1991 under the command of Anton and Rodrigo Contreras, who were later joined JJ Vallejo and Francisco "Cato" Cueto.

The band has a long path of walking experience, which are seen boom times and disappointment, but that have helped his maturity and the evolution of his music.

In 2000, burdened by the same ghosts that caused the breakdown of Pentagram, Anton decides to go in search of new horizons in the old continent, so he settled in England. There he meets the Extreme Noise Terror vocalist who offers to play in the band due to the absence of guitarist for the tour. Know is how Zac O'Neil, drummer of the group, and this points to the willingness of other directions from music due to the dissatisfaction of his hitherto group, expressing his readiness to a possible grouping of Reisenegger. The latter did not hesitate to show Criminal material so that further convinced the drummer.

O'neil Zac already had in mind a project with Rob Eaglestone (Cradle of Filth) and Entwined Mark Rogue, so that the Chilean joined them. The style was thrash and industrial trends, mixing sufficiently motivated to return to Criminal Reisenegger. Rodrigo Contreras called and began filming what would be his first international project and with a new lineup: Cancer.

Since then, Criminal has its headquarters in England. It has been very well received by the public, being a participant in varied and multitudinous concerts. Tours of the old continent and sudden visits to Chile have been the trend in recent years, becoming more and more followers and established hierarchy in the country.
