Info for Wilde Kinder

After the anarchic, completely freely improvised 2021 double album "The Divine Horsemen" (#22 charts), Die Apokalyptischen Reiter now return with their new studio album "Wilde Kinder", which marks the official successor to the top 10 success album "Der rote Reiter" (2017). The album was created over a period of three years and was recorded in a wide variety of places under partly adventurous conditions.

The album was created over a period of three years and was recorded in the most diverse places under partly adventurous conditions. At the same time as the album, the film "Wilde Kinder" was released, documenting the life and work of the band for more than a year. The final mix of the album was done by the band together with Eike Freese in Hamburg's Chameleon Studios, where "Der rote Reiter" (2017) was already recorded.

Founded in 1995, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter have evolved from wild grindcore into a phenomenal act that refuses to be pigeonholed with its mix of extreme metal, folk and symphonic elements and a dazzling flair for catchy sing-along melodies. In the world of the Weimar quartet there are no rules, artistic anarchy and a free flow of ideas and visions reign!

"With Die Apokalyptischen Reiter everything is (again) the same: The East Germans cemented their status as an instantly recognisable metal band between extreme tradition and contemporary German-language hard sausage, whereby once again the lyrics, relevant to the present and thought-provoking, make up that special something." (Andreas Schiffmann, musikreviews.de)

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter

DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER
from Weimar, Germany are one of the most exciting bands of our times. With influences from the very beginnings of extreme metal, combined with heroic melodies and bite, they focus on passionate playing and exude high energy, with their lyrics covering a broad spectrum from love to downfall. The REITER-effect goes far beyond just the musical aspects though. REITER fans can be identified by “Reitermania”, which causes wild and intense live shows. Some fans can even tell the story of floating over hundreds of hands and heads during a REITER concert in a rubber boat. DIE REITER always give 110%, and often even more; they are a wild and unpredictable bunch who always take people by surprise. You cannot prepare for DIE REITER. They suddenly appear before you, and you have to soak up the experience at your own pace.

On »Der Rote Reiter«, the quintet proclaims the approaching end of the world in an immediate and dissolute way, so much so that you even start desiring the encroaching doom. There are clear words full of power and beauty, sometimes quiet, sometimes screamed loudly… until the music and singing unify and the intensity of the songs drift further and further into peaks and troughs. DIE REITER allow themselves and their fans only a few moments of rest before continuing the wild ride. Musically, the band is much more focused than on their more playful predecessors. There’s more bite, more clear edge and it unleashes intense walls of sound, which impose themselves on the listener. DIE REITER steer their ship successfully on the rough seas through the shallows of uncertainty, and they still always honour moments of silence and freedom into their overall sound. They’ve successfully avoided the pit falls of the modern age - the artificially staged climbing of unexpected heights and the sudden fall into the icy darkness. DIE REITER have concentrated all of their experience and the power of the past into this new album.

»Der Rote Reiter« is an exploration of human tragedy, as well as a kind of healing balm. On the tenth album, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER have fully unleashed and are riding at their absolute wildest. The longest REITER album since the band was founded in 1995; this time around they are as hungry as ever. The icons, who celebrated their 20th anniversary with an unforgettable double concert, together with the release of their biography two years ago, are back; more direct and penetrating than ever before.

The band love touring, and are at their happiest out on the road. They’ve travelled as far as the Caribbean, and also enjoy the romance of an adventurous tour by train through the Ural Mountains in Russia. They have countless shared touring memories, especially in Russia; they’ve already completed five tours of this region! Once upon a time their tour bus crossed the Basque country to Portugal to play an unforgettable concert… but you’ll need to pick up their book to find out more. When DIE REITER start telling stories, they can wind their tales for hours. In their much-respected biography »Wie der Weltuntergang Teil unseres Lebens wurde« (2015), they’ve shared many incredible stories and X-rated anecdotes! Sometimes beggars, sometimes kings: DIE REITER ride and ride and ride.

This album contains no booklet.
