They incorporate Black-, Death-, Thrash- and Power Metal, as well as Rock and Folklore in their music.
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.
In 2008 followed their album "Licht" and their latest album, "Moral & Wahnsinn", was released in 2011!

We Will Never Die
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the horsemen of the apocalypse
Long time we slept in the fire of lust
But now we are awake
We are the ones you can trust
We play for you not just for anyone
We want to free your soul my son
Follow us and you will be free
We will never die
This is our song
Keep the faith
You know where you belong
We did not come here to destroy
We want to show you how to live
We are the prophets of light
WeÂ'll free you from the darkness
Of lonely nights
Every night we fight
To do the right for you
We hope you know
What you have to do
Give your soul into our hands
WeÂ'll guide you to the promised land
We will never die ...
Ride with us until the end of time
Feel how it feels to shine
Together we will be strong
The army of immortals
ThatÂ's where you belong
