Editor's note

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, German metal with a political edge

A Wittenberg band that started in 1995, mixing thrash, industrial, and gothic sounds with lyrics that sparked debate.

For a sense of their range, check out 'Reitermaniacs' and 'Der Arme Kunrad'. They frame the band's blend of energy and darker, thematic weight pretty well.

They've never been a straightforward metal act. Songs like 'Der Teufel' and 'Euer Gott ist der Tod' show how they weave social and political themes into their music, which has kept them distinct for over two decades. Their sound pulls from thrash, industrial, and gothic elements, giving their albums a layered, sometimes unsettling atmosphere.

Formed in Wittenberg in 1995 with Fuchs on vocals and guitar, Volk-Man on bass, and Sir G on drums. They began with a raw, experimental thrash sound that drew skepticism, then gradually incorporated industrial and gothic touches across more than twenty albums, up to 'Der Rote Reiter' in 2022.
