Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding their conceptual trilogy based on the eternal struggle between good and evil, the German heavy metal veterans deliver a robust, historically-themed effort. 'The Rivalry' is packed with Rolf Kasparek's signature galloping riffs, anthemic choruses, and pirate-themed bravado, standing as a triumphant late-career highlight for the band.
