One of Germany’s most spectacular and intense metal band are Weimar’s DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER. The band whose name translates as “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” brandish a unique brand of melodic heaviness, accompanied by singular, intense lyrics. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter is simply one of the most exciting metal bands around. Stunning musicianship, a relentless work ethic, and a ferocious live show combine to make Die Apokalyptischen Reiter a not-to-be-missed prospect. Since forming back in 1995, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter has remained innovative and courageous, delivering a form of extreme metal that is second to none. In the artistic realm of the Weimar-based quartet, there are no rules - anarchy, a free flow of ideas and visions reign supreme!

With a highly supportive and engaged following at their side, they achieved #10 in Germany’s official charts with their most ambitious album “Der Rote Reiter”. The band has played every major metal festival and countless fans have succumbed to “Reitermania” – which is the wild and crazy experience that only Die Apokalyptischen Reiter can provide.

The band is currently getting ready to release “Wilde Kinder” (“Wild Children”), their new album due out on April 22, 2022 - the official successor to “Der Rote Reiter” (2017). And today, they present their brand new single "Euer Gott Ist Der Tod" ("Your God Is Death"). A harbinger of the apocalypse - where death and darkness unite in an invincible alliance. An epic masterpiece! Centre stage as a shining angel amongst the pitch-black chaos is former Deadlock singer Sabine Scherer.

"Mors et nox in concordia invicta

United are Death and Night in invincible alliance.

So shall it be - until the last sound is gone,

All regret is washed away and the old earth is hanging dead in the sky."
