Nibelung is third studio album by the Austrian heavy metal band Siegfried. The album was released in November 2009. It comprises the third part of the Wagnerian trilogy that inspired the three albums of the band. The Austrian formation has perfectly forged their unique steel hymns and epic metal sounds characterized once again by heavy guitar riffs, powerful choirs, and sonourous keyboard melody lines. The song material is crowned by the interaction of the three vocalist, whose voices bring various Nibelung Saga characters to life. At the helm is Sandra Schleret (Elis, ex Dreams of Sanity), whose singing talents provide the final touch to the refrains and melodic arches. The epic sound is the work of Alex Krull's Mastersound Studio (Elis, Leaves' Eyes).^[1]
