Aphrodite’s Child holds a significant place in rock history, being an early platform for composer Vangelis and vocalist Demis Roussos, particularly known for their track "The Four Horsemen." Italian psychedelic band Frank Never Dies has now revitalized this classic with their own energetic interpretation, emphasizing its apocalyptic and spiritual themes that resonate with today’s realities. Their cover, released on October 7 via Argonauta Records, follows their upcoming album Red Moon Rising. The original song appeared on Aphrodite’s Child’s 1972 album 666, a pivotal work in progressive rock.
As we reflect on the impact of Vangelis and Roussos, it raises the question: How do timeless musical themes, such as those in "The Four Horsemen," continue to find relevance in the modern social and cultural landscape?
