25 years ago this week, Edguy released Mandrake right as Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia was blowing up—and it cemented the band’s legacy as power metal royalty. This week, we dig into every track: the mid-tempo epic “The Pharaoh,” the speedy hook-driven “All the Clowns,” and even Japanese bonus track “The Devil & The Savant.” High speed alien drum bunnies unite—and join us for the ultimate Mandrake retrospection!
