 Unpredictable, manic, and brilliant, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter is a band that probably every extreme genre lover would like to have known.

 Riders on the Storm is one of the band's compositional peaks, the tracks are a succession of great songs, a cauldron in which punk choruses, hard rock riffs, heavy anthems, South American elements, death-leaning outbursts, folk melodies, and 80s synths boil.

 In summary, it is a fine album, the variety of tracks will hardly bore you, and the songs are all inspired; incredibly, the group will succeed in repeating the feat in subsequent albums, increasingly diversifying their sound (without losing a basic imprint that makes it traceable to the band) without quality drops, a risk that is far from abstract when putting a lot of irons in the fire. Recommended!
