Reitermania Roars: Die Apokalyptischen Reiter Forge Alliance with Napalm Records

In a seismic shift reverberating through the metal underbelly, legendary German titans, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, have officially signed on with Napalm Records. Hailing from Thuringia, this formidable band has been a cornerstone of the heavy music scene for over three decades, transcending borders with their early English lyrics. This partnership with the Austrian label powerhouse marks a pivotal evolution in their storied career.

Currently, the Reiters are deep in the creative trenches, crafting their much-anticipated 13th studio album. Yet, before unleashing their latest barrage of thunderous riffs and anthemic choruses upon the world, the band will embark on their electrifying “Schrei!Nachten” Tour. This annual trek has become a staple in the post-holiday metal calendar, where they will celebrate their extensive catalog alongside fellow heavyweights Robse and Disillusion.

“It is sealed: Die Apokalyptischen Reiter join Napalm Records! A new chapter begins – and we couldn’t be happier,” the band announced, buzzing with excitement over this new venture. Their upcoming album, a labor of passion and perseverance, has been brewing for nearly two years, infused with countless hours of dedication, sweat, and the unyielding spirit of Reitermania. Fans can expect this sonic juggernaut to drop in the summer of 2027, and the anticipation is palpable.

Before they dive headfirst into the final stages of the album, the band is ready to unleash their frenetic energy on stage once more, promising a night of unadulterated metal madness. “More sweat, more mania,” they declare, inviting fans to experience that electric connection between band and crowd that only Die Apokalyptischen Reiter can conjure.

Napalm Records' Senior A&R Sebastian Münch expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “The REITER have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember – for me, they’re one of the most important German metal bands of all times. I’m excited that we can now be part of their journey as a label.” As this alliance solidifies, the future looks brighter than ever for these German metal legends.
