Album Notes & Community Reviews

A quintessential document of the German power metal scene, 'Black Hand Inn' is a loosely conceptual album dealing with a resurrected pirate, prophecy, and the battle of Armageddon. Driven by Rolf Kasparek's razor-sharp riffing and blistering speed-metal drumming, the record stands out as one of the most aggressive and complex entries in their legendary buccaneer-themed discography.
