Aroview: Bobby Liebling, the one-time frontman of seminal 70s hard-rock group 'Pentagram' is tracked down 30 years later by a young metalhead hoping to resurrect the band's back catalogue in this eye-opening documentary.

Firmly part of a subgenre of rock-docs of fringe artists blighted by tragedy, this one is unflinchingly honest in its reveal of the human soul behind the demon of addiction, and turns the precariousness of his attempted comeback into drama that is compulsive and surprisingly climactic.
