Pompeii (album)

Pompeii is the fifth album by German progressive rock group Triumvirat. The band released the album under the name of "The New Triumvirat" due to temporary legal squabbles over the original name from former members, drummer Hans Bathelt and bassist Werner Frangenberg. They were replaced by drummer Curt Cress and bassist Dieter Petereit, both from the band Passport. This would be the band's last progressive album, due to the pressure of the record company to do more commercial music, to enhance the record sales.
