Die Apokalyptischen Reiter

„Ich hab den Käfig abgebrannt“ (I burned down the cage) – this was probably the line that had the most beautiful apocalypse of Easern Germany turn their back on fluffy blanket and couch snacks back in 2022. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter’s twelvth studio album “Wilde Kinder” wipes of any pandemic residue. With their familiar harshness, mountain tours, God, and Iron John, empty stages are a thing of the past. And if you’re looking for something down to earth after the previous album “The Divine Horseman” improv session, you’ll find it here: The guys from Thuringia bring back old sound patterns of hard metal, catchy tunes, as well as folkloristic and symphonic elements.

For the fifth time, Fuchs, Volk-Man, Sir G., and Titus Maximus spread the Reiter-verse among the beer loving Ruhrpott crowd. The only true revelation awaits you above the clouds of Neukirchen-Vluyn - show humility, Dong servants, sharpen your knives and sizzle in the Reiter sun!
