(Review from progarchives.com)

After “Old Loves Die Hard”, Hans Bathelt left the band too, leaving Fritz as the only original member. Famous session drummer Curt Cress joined in. A new bassist was also introduced.

This is another conceptual album about Roman history, this time not about gladiators and wars but about the natural cataclysm and volcanic explosion in Pompeii.

The album starts very promising with the Earthquake that has a very similar sound and atmosphere as Spartacus, great changes, and strong keyboard solos. Other highlights include “Viva Pompeii”, “The Rich Man and the Carpenter” and “Dance on the Volcano”.

“Pompeii” is generally considered as the start of the downward slope for Triumvirat. Fritz’s songwriting (and Barry Palmer’s interpretation) starts to fail to generate the same excitement it used to do on their previous works.

Line-up:
- Curt Cress / drums, percussion
- Jurgen Fritz / keyboards, percussion
- Barry Palmer / lead vocals
- Dieter Petereit / bass
