Check It Out! Die Apokalyptischen Reiter – Licht (2008)
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
I am just going to call these Germans D.A.R., because their name is a bitch to type out (I guess I could copy it, but they needed an acronym anyway). My primary exposure to D.A.R. has been in the form of Allegro Barbaro, the band’s 1999 effort, which despite my owning it, is very hit or miss. Allegro Barbaro is definitely an original album, but the clean vocal moments are borderline ruinous on several songs. Licht on the other band, is a damn fine album, it fluidly combines punk, death metal, folk metal and Euro pop influences to create an upbeat, catchy album.
