Under Jolly Roger

This record establishes the pirate identity that stayed with the group. The title track functions as a primary anthem for the nautical heavy metal style. The band abandoned their previous focus on occult lyrics to adopt this thematic pivot.

Energy dominates the production of this 1987 release. It reflects the aggressive German speed metal scene of that era. The shift away from polished studio aesthetics toward a rougher edge helped influence various power metal acts that followed.
