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. 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. It would also be the last with members Hans Bathelt who was the band's drummer and lyricist since the very beginning in 1972, singer Barry Palmer would also leave after this album.
