about
Orden Ogan is a German power metal band with elements of folk metal, formed in 1996 by Sebastian Grütling (drums) and Sebastian Levermann (lead vocals and guitar). The band has released three demos and seven studio albums, and is currently signed to Reigning Phoenix Music; prior to 2024, they were signed with AFM Records. Orden Ogan also organises the German metal festival WinterNachtsTraum. The band was originally founded in June 1996 as Tanzende Aingewaide and was renamed Orden Ogan in 1997. The name combines the German word "Orden" (Order) with the Old Celtic word "Ogan" (Fear), translating to "The Order of Fear". Orden Ogan released three demo tapes: "Into Oblivion" (1998), "Soli Deo Gloria" (1999), and "Testimonium A.D." (2004). Orden Ogan considers their history to begin in 2008 with the release of their first studio album "Vale" via Yonah Records. The album received positive reviews in the European press, and introduced the band’s mascot, Alister Vale, who features in the loose concept present across all studio albums. "Vale" was later released in Brazil and Japan in 2009. The album artwork for all studio releases has been created by Andreas Marschall. The band performed over fifty shows in 2008, including festivals such as Rock am Ring, Metal Healing in Greece, Rock Harz, and Metal Camp in Slovenia.
