Ok, the Die Apokalyptischen Reiter – hum, that sounds a bit redundant. I’ll elaborate. Die in German means ‘the.’ I’m writing about now has one foot in Industrial Metal. I mean one foot only because what I sense here is more an intent not exactly a sonancy. I’ll elaborate. “Wilde Kinder” has some Industrial Metal features but not all. “Der Eisenhans” is a great track to my dear fan check what I’m saying. Vocals are very related to Industrial Metal. Ok, I’m counting the keyboards and the guitar solo. The same goes with “Ich bin ein Mensch” which I guess represents more what I’m saying that the previous track. To make things a little more complicated they are subtle and not in a ll tracks. This album is album much more melodic that the one I’ve heard before. Tracks as “Blau” have such a massive emotional content.
By the end of the album all the strangement have gone. Never enough to say that it was the melody that got me. What can I say? I like melodic features. Not sugar melodic, but melodic anyway. By the way, very interesting CD cover.
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter “Wilde Kinder” will be released on April 22nd via Nuclear Blast Records.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
