PRESS/ QUOTES:

Metal Hammer:
‘This easily tops all expectations. With “Easton Hope” 2010 has itґs first big highlight release straight away’

Rock It:
‘Although the foundation of their sound is quite traditional Metal, ORDEN OGAN impress with innovative, modern and progressive elements, as well as the special “something”. OUTSTANDING! Is this the best album of 2010 already?’

For one they are “the new Running Wild” (Metal Hammer, Germany), others tend to call them “the only legitimate successors of Blind Guardian, but in fact they are much more like this” (Rock Hard, Germany). ORDEN OGAN’s sound is rooted in German Melodic Metal (Blind Guardian, Running Wild, Gamma Ray) but enhanced with an own flavour consisting of modern and progressive elements, even reaching the athmospherical depth of masters like Savatage. High-class songwriting goes along with a top-notch production here. The bandґs sound will amaze the metal community in 2010. Theyґve just been confirmed for The Wacken Open Air…

ORDEN OGAN released their first own-pressed CD “Testimonium A.D.” to critical acclaim in 2004, after long years of songwriting and extensive recording/mixing sessions they surfaced again in 2008, to release their debut album “Vale” on Yonah Records. This piece of work became (even though released in Germany only) very successful and exceeded all commercial expectations by far. Contractual offers from lots of renowned record labels followed immediately, as well as offers from several booking agencies. ORDEN OGAN chose to sign with AFM Records and will release their second album “Easton Hope” on January 22nd, 2010. Prepare to enter the world of ORDEN OGAN…
