DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER: 'Dr. Pest' Video Released

February 11, 2011

"Dr. Pest", the new video from Germany's DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in Wroclaw, Poland with the Grupa13 company, which has previously worked with BEHEMOTH and AMON AMARTH. The location of the shoot was the Four Domes Pavilion, which was erected in 1913. The Centennial Hall also belongs to this complex and is part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage.

"This was the most elaborate and thrilling shooting ever," the band said. "The over 40 workers of Grupa13 felt 'Dr. Pest''s magic and the horrible cold on location couldn't harm them. Together with the team we developed the storyline for the video. To achieve a perfect cinematic look, we shot with a Red One MX 35mm camera — a camera usually used for feature film productions. The result is simply breathtaking."

"Dr. Pest" comes off the band's new album, "Moral & Wahnsinn" (English translation: Morality & Insanity),which will be released on February 25 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Die Boten
02. Gib Dich Hin
03. Hammer Oder Amboß
04. Dir Gehört Nichts
05. Dr. Pest
06. Moral & Wahnsinn
07. Erwache
08. Heimkehr
09. Wir Reiten
10. Hört Auf
11. Ein Liebes Lied

DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER previously stated about "Moral & Wahnsinn": "Now that we are finished in the studio, we have the fantastic feeling that we have created something very unique, something that has never been done before. The album unifies all of our musical extremes and strengths with a brutal lyrical intensity that reflects all the highs and lows of human insanity. But the album also speaks to the morality that hides in each and everyone of us. Insanity is a fantasy, morality is hard, dry reality."
