Ryker's
Back in 1992 a couple of kids, who had been part of the scene since the mid 80's, decided to start a band under the monikerRyker's. At the

Back in 1992 a couple of kids, who had been part of the scene since the mid 80's, decided to start a band under the monikerRyker's. At the
time, nobody would have been able to guess that this head-stomping outfit would soon be placed at the verytop of the European hardcore scene
within a couple of years. Nowadays, Ryker's have inherited a prominent status which was, up until this point, only achieved by US hardcore acts.
Theyare an established and familiar name amongst the scene's followers and the amount of people wearing their shirts with prideare achieving
true legion status. The success of this Kassel / Germany-based outfit does not only have to deal with theobvious hit-potential amongst their
discography, but also the incredible intensity they expel in a live setting. These high-energy shows have without doubt paved the way for
Ryker's successful career in Germany and there have already beenseveral American acts who got to experience the fear of being "supported" by
them in a live situation, getting blown away infact.
Ryker's have always presented their hyper-aggressive hardcore with a fair dose of technical wit, groove and brilliant riffing.On top of that, they
dominate the art of changing velocities during their songs without destroying their pounding intention.The intelligent, slowed-down rhythms
which suddenely explode into speed-massacres are one of Ryker's outstandingtrademarks allowing them to have a very unique style all their
own.
