The concept of this album tells about the 4 Biblical Riders of the Apocalypse:
War, Plague, Starvation & Death who are all the mightiest of the destructive
Gods. The first part of the album observes the various atrocities by mankind,
and the punishments (plagues, earthquakes, wars...) by the Gods who tried to
redeem them throughout the ages. The second part tells of the mighty evocation
of the riders by a secret religious cabal, and the Rider's final war against
mankind. The last part is where the whole of humankind is eradicated, save for
one man, who will walk the aftermath of plague, war, starvation and death -
unable to breed... destined to die as the last of his kind.

Back in 2004, the band Therion was on top of the world. With a strong line-up and on the way to release a double album [Lemuria/Sirius B], the Swedes' side-project Demonoid went almost unnoticed.

According to the band's website, Demonoid was formed as a vehicle for Therion members Kristian Niemann, Johan Niemann, and Richard Evensand to play more extreme music. Influenced by darker acts such as Nile and Emperor, they channeled their efforts into this new outlet. The resulting album, "Riders of the Apocalypse," is a Death Metal opus that has all of the aggressiveness of the aforementioned, but at the same time retains that grandiosity that Therion has come to embody for so long.

Does anyone know who the singer at the end of The Evocation is?
---- "I'm here to nunchuck and not wear helmets. And I'm all out of helmets." "I'll fight you on one condition. That you lower your nipples." " 'Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!"

My final grade is 8.7, forget about the two first track just focus on 3-9, Lamb Of God Death Metal .
---- Stop seeing things and people in a binary way. Everything has its own spectrum and complexity. Be patient and learn about the world.

I can't wait to hear a new album from these guys (if it ever comes). This album is a masterpiece and one of the first death metal albums I ever listened to.
