- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the first beings sent by Jesus to bring death to the majority of humanity on the Last Judgment and they are described as four men riding a white, red, black and pale horse, who represent Conquest, War, Famine and Death respectively.
- Four riders of legend that represented men's worst enemies; Famine, Pestilence, War, and Death. Shadowen in their guise were sent to Paranor to imprison Walker Boh. Walker attempts to slip past unseen but is discovered and even with his newfound powers is unable to defeat them and barely escapes. He comes up with a plan to defeat them and goes outside to fight them in the middle of the day. He uses illusion to turn their attacks against each other, destroying all except Death. Cogline comes out of the Keep and throws himself in between Walker and Death and is mortally wounded. An enraged Walker destroys the final horseman by driving Druid Fire into its hood and burning out its soul.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (also known as The Dark Riders, The Scourges of Mankind, The Horsemen of Doom ) were four figures who rode on horseback.
- The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as they are commonly called, are four men (whether physical, spiritual, or metaphorical) on four horses. These men are given different tasks to complete when the Lamb brakes a seal on a scroll that no one could break. The first four out of seven seals involve these four men. John the Apostle saw these men on their horses in his vision that is recorded in the Book of Revelation.
- The "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is a term used to describe a concept from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, in chapter six of the Book of Revelation. Although scholars disagree as to what exactly each horseman represents, the four horsemen are often referred to as Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. They are part of an apocalyptic vision in which God summons and empowers them to wreak divine havoc on the world. Each is revealed, individually, when the first four of seven seals are broken (opened) in Revelation.
- In the hierarchy of evil, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are unknown evil beings that rank higher than demons. The horsemen are empowered by the the Source of All Evil and are charged with bringing about the end of the world through their respective personifications. Each horseman represents and controls a certain destructive force, namely War, Death, Strife and Famine. When unleashed by the Source, the horsemen set out to cause destruction and chaos to instigate the apocalypse.
- The bands major works include: The Seven Plagues of Egypt (an early attempt at a concept album), The Black Death The Worldwide Influenza Pandemic of 1919, and Survivor 7 - Vanuatu. The band's career has been heavily influenced by its competition with its imitator and major rival The Seven Deadly Sins. Indeed its Survivor series of albums were a direct response to the younger band's Big Brother projects, though with the exception of aforementioned Survivor 7, the series is widely held to be a failure, unable to compete with the Seven Deadly Sins' "masterful explication of the human capacity for a myriad of vices and general boring faffing around" (1). (Survivor 7 was the exception because it featured "that hot chick in the bandanna" playing triangle.)
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are a quartet of immensely powerful entities that personified the four prime concepts that drive the Apocalypse. They can manifest a human form, which can be harmed in manners identical to humans. They are respectively known as: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. Each use a special ring that channels their core ability, without which, their physical forms are lost, excluding Death. Also, they each travel in a car (colored to resemble their steed's color in lore), having gotten in "with the times".
