ORDEN OGAN – Final Days (2021)
Germany’s ORDEN OGAN is another act which started playing progressive power metal and over the years turned simpler, more focused, melodic and catchy. Their next album “Final Days” to be released this weekend is a dark Sci-Fi concept record, plenty of fat riffs, massive choruses and punchy rhythms.
With titles like ‘In The Dawn Of The AI’, ‘Interstellar’ (featuring Gus G. on guest guitar) or ‘Heart Of The Android’ you know where the band go here, and works really well with Orden Ogan’s arrangements & style.
While some may think on ”Final Days” the band is tad too much on the slower side of things, they’re not squandering their talents. They’re just focusing more on the catchy side of their songwriting. Hell, third single “Inferno” definitely shows some pop / melodic rock influences, and still kick ass with bite…
