Die Apokalyptischen Reiter is a German heavy metal band signed to the Nuclear Blast label. Their name translates to Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Their original style (featured on their releases upto and including Allegro Barbaro) consists of death/thrash metal blended with melodic compositions establishing a more epic mood than usual in traditional death metal. In later albums, 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 clean vocals (although not exclusively), resulting in a more polished and accessible sound.
