Die Apokalyptischen Reiter are a melodic death metal/folk metal band founded in 1995 in Thuringia, Germany and is signed to the Nuclear Blast label. Their name translates to "Horsemen of the Apocalypse".
Their original style (featured on their releases up to and including "Allegro Barbaro") consists of death metal blended with melodic compositions establishing a more epic mood than usual in traditional death metal. folk metal influences were added in later albums, while the death metal influence has declined, resulting in less chaotic composition (often centered around a verse and chorus with a bridge and solo), more constant tempo, longer songs and some clean vocals, resulting in a more polished and accessible sound.
Concerts projected for 2007, commencing at the Antwerp Hof Ter Loo venue on April 27th, were announced as the 'Earthshaker Roadshock' tour in union with After Forever, Tarot, Finntroll, Machine Men and All Ends.
The band are going to release the DVD from that concert in the spring of april. And will go back into the studios to make another album.
