Rating

German melodic Teutonic symphonic power metal combo Orden Ogan releases it's fourth album. The band is influenced by Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray and Running Wild. Do I need to say more? In fact all has been said about the music by mentioning these four names.

With German stability, every song has been composed and arranged. Seeb Levermann (vocals, guitars) is the solid factor responsible for that. After an intro a fast track with tight riffs sets off. Choirs, thrash riffs, classical piano parts, semi-ballads, fabulous guitar parts, catchy songs and epic hymns; it all can be heard on this album. Seeb has the typical warm and powerful voice needed for a power metal band.

The band doesn't bring any new element to the genre, but due to the well written and executed songs this album will sell like hot cakes among the (German) power metal fans. For the early adaptors there is a limited special edition with their Wacken 2010 show!
