Known as one of Germany’s most spectacular bands, Weimar’s DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, whose name translates as “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”, delivers a brand of melodic heaviness that is second to none. Since forming back in 1995, the band is a powerhouse of fury, with a sound that will stand the test of time. In the artistic realm of the Weimar-based quartet, there are no rules - anarchy, a free flow of ideas where vision reigns supreme! It is in this artistic freedom that they have conjured a virtual kaleidoscope of various styles only to twist them into new and previously unheard concepts.

With a highly supportive and engaged following at their side, their last studio album "Der Rote Reiter" (2017) – celebrated by critics and fans alike – and which solidified the band’s status among metal legends, achieved #10 in Germany’s official charts. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter has just announced their new album "Wilde Kinder" ("Wild Children") which will arrive on April 22, 2022, via Nuclear Blast. While that seems like a long way away, the news does come with some face-melting new music.

Today, they announce another huge project - their very own film "Wilde Kinder - The Movie - Eine Gebrauchsanleitung zur Freiheit" ("Wild Children - The Movie - A Guide To Freedom"), which true to the concept of their upcoming album explores how one can be truly free in these modern times.

How can one escape this collective madness? How can one live their best life without fear? And how can one record a new album despite all that chaos? Die Apokalyptischen Reiter strikes a balance between hectic business and relaxation. Going back and forth between wanderlust, a sense of freedom, and professionalism. On his journey into the deep, deep forest, singer Fuchs meets some quite remarkable personalities. People who are seeking a new start, or just want to leave behind their old life, depending on the point of view. But either way, all of them are wild children. Narrated with humor, the lines between musicians and dropouts blur.

This movie is not built on clichés and requires total attention. But ideally, it will serve as a guide towards freedom. First movie, production & direction: Fuchs (Die Apokalyptischen Reiter).
