Die Apokalyptischen Reiter sign to Napalm Records
DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER have signed with Napalm Records!
The German metal veterans have announced that they have signed a new record deal with Napalm Records. The Thuringia-based band, who have spent more than three decades carving out their unique place within the metal scene, are currently working on their thirteenth studio album, which is expected to be released in Summer 2027.
The announcement comes ahead of the band’s annual Schrei!Nachten tour, which will once again take place between Christmas and New Year. The run will see DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER celebrating their extensive back catalogue alongside support from ROBSE and DISILLUSION.
Speaking about the signing, the band shares, “it is sealed: DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER join Napalm Records! A new chapter begins – and we couldn’t be happier. The ink has only just dried on the contract, and we have long been working on what it has always been about for us: new music.
For almost two years now, our next studio album has been growing. Countless hours, our lifeblood, sweat, doubts, euphoria – and of course a lot of Reitermania are already a part of it. It will be yours in the summer of 2027. And we can’t wait to have you listen to what we have been working on for so long.
Before diving head first into the final studio sessions, we’re set to go nuts with you once more. More sweat, more mania, another round of that special energy between the stage and the audience, before taking the last steps towards the new album. The journey continues. Louder. Wilder. Reiter.”
Napalm Records Senior A&R Sebastian Münch adds, “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, support the band, and help them reach even bigger goals. Welcome to the Napalm family!”
