Excalibur, last album of the middle ages trilogy, tells the story and legends among 'King Arthur and The Knights Of The Round Table'. Those myths are formed again under raw lyrics and powerful driving sound that Grave Digger are famous for as well as majestic keyboard parts that sound like medieval music of celtic and british origin from the time the legends take place.

For me this is one of the best Grave Digger records (along with "Tunes of War") and the essential part of the classics of heavy metal.

Great album with maybe a couple of weak tracks. "Morgane Le Fay" and "Avalon" are definite GD classic songs

This album is grave digger, but whit out saying its concept album, hard to tell. Some songs are soft a bit ballad style, some parts he sings slow and soft and a bit calmer, IMO it was formula to make a bit different album and be Grave Digger.

Morgane Le Fay blew me away, that even rhymes! Avalon is really original and a nice track. The title track has a cool riff.

IMHO the first of only "good" GD albums and none of the following up to day was better. KotC was their last very good one and the older ones were their prime! Edit 12/25: Listened to it again and I still think it´s the first mediocore record. But I have to admit that there are some perls on it. In total I like the following songs: Pendragon, Excalibur, The Round Table (Forever), Morgane Le Fay, Tristan's Fate, Lancelot and The Final War So close to 8/10
