Which type of band has fans that  drink when they listen to music? Die Apocalyptischen Reiter\/The Apocalyptic  Riders are in the alcohol side of the equation. Why, with songs like &#8220;Rock  &#8216;n Roll&#8221;, &#8220;Hey-Ho&#8221; and &#8220;Lazy Day&#8221;, you are guaranteed not to have to think  too much. The music is pretty loud, basic metal\/rock, with thrash, heavy  metal and some surprises here and there, like blast beats or mellow moments.  In addition, some songs are in English, some in German. The lyrics point out  three important things that you might not know: 1) they like to rock, 2)  they like play to rock and 3) they love rock &#8216;n roll.  If you are Mr.  Serious Metalhead, you should stay away because these  guys are just playing  simple, beer hard rock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s Fates Warning, Dream Theater, Ayreon, on the one hand.
