Triumvirat

Triumvirat is a German progressive rock group, noted for keyboard-driven, ELP-influenced material and 1970s concept albums such as Spartacus.

The review identifies an early trio as Fritz - Bathelt - Frangenberg and repeatedly compares the band's style to Emerson, Lake & Palmer; the group's sound emphasizes keyboards and technical playing.

The available review treats Triumvirat's Spartacus as a competent but mannerist example of 1970s progressive rock. The band is compared repeatedly to Emerson, Lake & Palmer; technical skill (keyboards, drums) is praised, while originality and cohesion are faulted. Individual tracks are enjoyable, but the album is judged uneven overall.
