Been a powermetalhead for about 20 years now, and let us be honest; it's not the epic Power years of the 90s anymore, there is alot of garbage in this genre these days. BUT it's awesome to hear that bands like Orden Ogan makes PowerMetal exiting again. Accept did it, Helloween did it, Blind Guardian did it, Running Wild did it, Gamma Ray, Edguy, Freedom Call.. the list goes on and on.. And now you - Orden Ogan - keep the flame of german Power Metal alive! This album will prove that, i'm sure. ;) Cheers from a Norwegian powermetal viking
Agreed, love power metal but today's bands in the genre doesn't cut it lol there are a few good ones tho, listen to ancient bards, female fronted but badass!!
Surprised you only mentioned bands from Germany like that bands from other parts of Europe cannot be compared because they aren't Power Metallish enough. Don't take it the wrong I love bands from Germany and agreed they have made some very nice Power Metal artists arise from the shadows.
RocknRoller Real power metal died out in the early 00s after bands like Hammerfall made it popular again. Euro power metal just equated to flower metal and they took what Blind Guardian did lyrically to the worst extremes.
Sounds like you just haven't found the right bands to me. Personally I like some of the new relatively new power metal bands, like Falconer, Dream Evil, Sabaton, Orden Ogan, Powerwolf, Týr and a few of Alestorms tracks. Cheers from a (newbie) Danish powermetal viking.
I know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake We must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky This, my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die!! Awesome
Wow ... the first time I heard this song about 2 months ago, I thought it was pretty good. But now, listening to it again for the second time, it's absolutely awesome! I guess I didn't notice all the subtle melodic goodies the first time :)
Midnight Wolf depends on who you ask. i just think everyone should do the stuff he/she wants to do, as long as its nothing criminal, and be happy with it.
Lyrics: [Verse 1] I was looking for those dwelling here in poverty and crime I'm offering a way to end your sorrows for all time All you have to do is leave the ones you love behind I promise at the place we go, a better life to find [Chorus] Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [Verse 2] I know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake We must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky This, my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die Not yet, stay with me [Chorus] Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead [Solo: Seeb] [Verse 3] You crawl into the empty halls' enclosing haze of sleep It's reaping for millennia, your souls it longs to keep Immured alive in solid walls, this place never stops to grow A secret locked in Ravenhead nobody'll ever know ...nobody'll ever know [Chorus] Behind the gates of Ravenhead Halls of evil, dreams of dread Only the touch of the dead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
+That Blind Guy As someone in a show i watch once said: "going back in time is old thinking my friend. why dont u make time come forward to u?" (or something similar, gotta watch the episode again). anyway, instead of going forward in time, u can make time come back to u. :)
+thecreator625 I was listening to this when on Oricon in SWTOR and always think of the Dread Palace raid when he says "Halls of evil, dreams of dread."
Lol Dragoon SWTOR is one thing that I never got into because I'm always saddened by the fact it was the reason KOTOR 3 was cancelled and the literal gaping plot holes :/
Agreed, as good as it is I found 'Fever' very repetitive & grew tiresome quickly. This however is awesome incarnate but still doesn't grab me by the balls like 'To The End' did.
I am getting a bit of the 2nd half of Genesis (Making and Fall of Men) vibe from this song. Understandable, considering Running Wild seems to be one of their main inspirations
I've compared Orden Ogan to Sabaton a few times before. Mostly the fact they only have a few unique songs and most of the rest are just the same song with slightly different lyrics. They're both the sorts of bands you'd think are awesome if you only heard the best of what they've done, but if you try listening to the full discography all the way through, it gets boring as hell before you're even halfway done.
I've found out about this band pretty recently and I've gotta say, Orden Ogan is awesome!
I do agree. Same with me.
Agreed they got awesome songs
Same with me in 2023.BEST BAND.
One of the world's most underrated bands.
I fucking LOVE THIS!! Old school! 60 years old. This is MUSIC
Клипы шикарные...я давно не видел таких.музыка потрясает , интересно слушать

True, German Power is the best!

Writing a novel and conjured in my mind a character called, "Ravenhead." Next day, found this song.
Used the castle in my D&D-Campaign... 😂
I think you found his theme song
@@fafikommander1903 kind of similar to castle ravenloft in the curse of strahd module :D
Heavy Metal never dies - this is pure life as I like it. All the Best
from Nepal and enjoy life!
Shily Shuhe
Orden Organ is a power metal band, not heavy metal :)
you have great taste
Greetings from The Netherlands 😄
🤘🤘🤘..
funny that is the title of another metal song
I know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake
We must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take
See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky
This, my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die!! Awesome
Oh yeah I love orden ogan 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍❤️❤️❤️
Finally proof that metal isn't dead. Be nice to catch these guy's on a US tour.
this song STILL holds up.
Just discovered this band, damn it's good.
Damn... These guys are very good. I got a touch of Falconer in the opening of the song, and the lyrics and musicianship are excellent. I love it.
0:21 Wow, I never thought about the band name and its meaning, but this is really interesting.
Etliche Videos geschaut! Bin echt angefixt! Super Mucke. German Power Metal! Yes!!!
One of the few power group that I love to listen. Hail to HO
Im pleased to hear new bands like Orden Ogan (there a few of them) that has a great quality.
Love this song!
Metal rules, Orden Ogan forever (y)
love it love it love it. kinda has an old school megadeth vibe with his voice. love these guys please come to the states
Awesome! I highly appreciate such gloryful and epic Powermetal.
Sauerland is Powerland ;)
3:24... that part just give me creeps..masterpiece \m/
Hört sich gut an 👍
Wow ... the first time I heard this song about 2 months ago, I thought it was pretty good. But now, listening to it again for the second time, it's absolutely awesome! I guess I didn't notice all the subtle melodic goodies the first time :)
+Noctumus seems like i found someone i didnt expect here. :)
+Hidden Shadow is there anything more metal than being a Brony?
Midnight Wolf depends on who you ask. i just think everyone should do the stuff he/she wants to do, as long as its nothing criminal, and be happy with it.
The intro seems "The Things we Believe in" but in fast mode but it's cool too :) nice guys of Orden Ogan !
AWESOME Song the best i have heard. from them
Oh mein Gott, OHRGASMUS!!! :D Orden Ogan ihr seit einfach spitze!
Ohrgasmus 🙏😉♥️♥️♥️
ALL HAIL THE GERMAN POWER GODS!greetings from greece!
Ravenhead is awesome 🤘
Orden Ogan kicking asses as always.
Their opening for every song is so brutal and good
I love this song, but i was listening to it last night at 2 am, and for some reason i kept hearing "behind the gates of raisinbread" i hate raisins :c
Omfg xD I can't stop laughing!
I can't stop hearing "raisin bread" now. I hope you're happy
I haven't even heard the song yet, and I swear to God if you ruin the song for me.
You fuck.
I blame Orden Ogan.
7 years later this song still hits hard
9 Years later it still hella does
Ya know you did everything right when even your lyric videos look fukken epic.
I'm currently thinking about editing this a bit and singing it during my Curse of Strahd campaign.
I love this album, when it came in, I was listening to it maybe 5-6 times. I think its time for another 5-6 spins on my cd player. \m/
+Robert Nodge wtf is a cd player lol
+marc poirier that is the thing where a real metalhead hears his music
You mean that thing where people who prefer CD players listen to their music. +riddikcrafter If you are gonna be an elitist I can just mention Vinyls.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I was looking for those dwelling here in poverty and crime
I'm offering a way to end your sorrows for all time
All you have to do is leave the ones you love behind
I promise at the place we go, a better life to find
[Chorus]
Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
[Verse 2]
I know you're growing weaker as you're passing by the lake
We must arrive before midnight, whatever it will take
See the abbey on the ledge and the ravens in the sky
This, my children of the ruins, it's not your time to die
Not yet, stay with me
[Chorus]
Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
[Solo: Seeb]
[Verse 3]
You crawl into the empty halls' enclosing haze of sleep
It's reaping for millennia, your souls it longs to keep
Immured alive in solid walls, this place never stops to grow
A secret locked in Ravenhead nobody'll ever know
...nobody'll ever know
[Chorus]
Behind the gates of Ravenhead
Halls of evil, dreams of dread
Only the touch of the dead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
Waits on the steps of Ravenhead
Awesome tune. They never disappoint.
OH MEIN GOTT so großartig und da ich jetzt endlich weiß woher der Name kommt muss ich jetzt auch nicht mehr nachfragen
A very inspiring song a battle song with lots of ravens in the sky
Guitar solo is a KILLER!
Yay! I get to wait 3 more weeks for this because I live in America!
*Dusts off my time machine blueprint.*
+That Blind Guy As someone in a show i watch once said: "going back in time is old thinking my friend. why dont u make time come forward to u?" (or something similar, gotta watch the episode again).
anyway, instead of going forward in time, u can make time come back to u. :)
Orden Ogan is nearly the best Metal Band of the World. Only Gamma Ray is on top of them
With this amazing New album is that definatly proved
Gestern live im Backstage gesehen. Richtig geil. Besser als Hammerfall :D
All I can think of... is how awesome a raid this would be in an MMO.
+thecreator625 This would be so awesome !!
+thecreator625 I was listening to this when on Oricon in SWTOR and always think of the Dread Palace raid when he says "Halls of evil, dreams of dread."
Lol Dragoon
SWTOR is one thing that I never got into because I'm always saddened by the fact it was the reason KOTOR 3 was cancelled and the literal gaping plot holes :/
+Based Trump we dont give a shit
On loop.
Jajajajaja! Kann jetzt bitte einfach schon Freitag sein? Und hoffentlich schaffe ich es noch spontan auf den Gig nach Berlin!
Song is fucking awesome, but It'd be nice if the font was more readable.
Non-readable ones are more trve! ^^
RandomRaven you are right but its art. So choose what you choose.
Yeah
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Awesome guys ! Can't wait, Power Metal Power !! o/
...great selection of font for the lyrics :P
I love it. Can't wait to get money so I can buy the album! :)
I did not like Fever but this one.... This is what i want to hear! Fucking masterpiece!
Really? I think Fever had a lot more energy and passion to it.
Agreed, as good as it is I found 'Fever' very repetitive & grew tiresome quickly. This however is awesome incarnate but still doesn't grab me by the balls like 'To The End' did.
Yes... I couldn't agree with you any more! Fever was... nope!
Pete Hawthorne the things we belive in and till the stars cry out were awesome as well
Strange, I liked Fever very well. But I'm a huge fan of very melodic songs anyway, so maybe thats why I hype I that way. :D
a great peace of music would go well with any action/adventure game
Музыка бомба!!!
cant wait to get the album in my hands
I am getting a bit of the 2nd half of Genesis (Making and Fall of Men) vibe from this song. Understandable, considering Running Wild seems to be one of their main inspirations
OMG only three days !!!!! :-) greetings from Hungary
Que buena banda!
Einfach nur zu geil!
Love it!
Awesome!
best powermetal band of the latest years
Okay fucking great songs, but is it me or do the lyrics in this video look like there written by Michael J Fox? No offense.
best powermetalband of the last years
So awesome !!! Great song :D
Ready to play Bloodborne after this... Really evil chorus and riff
awesome
Thanks Tobito, 'preciate you.
Really looking forward to seeing them as support for powerwolf in october; this is some great stuff
Sehr nice!!! 😍😍😍
Great this song \m/ Love it \m/
This is much better with headphones.
Fantastic - Music thx !!
POUR THE BOWL OF RAISIN BRAN
HAHA!
that fucking intro riff omfggg
Wow, that was really good!
Cool!!! Круто
Beautifully scary ❄️❄️
A Secret Locked in RAVENHEAD Nobody´ll Ever Know... Nobody´ll Ever Know!!!
This song is Awesome!!!!
lyric font is impossible to read. Good thing I can understand the vocals.
hell yeah !!!!!! awesome song !!!!!!
Where do I get that sweet ass background....
Kind of wish I knew what font is being used in this video, for the lyrics.
Orden Ogan enttäuscht wirklich nie
This song describes the perfect Bloodborne or Dark Souls level :)
Awesome
Anyone else think the first part of this song sounds almost exactly like a sped up "Things we believe in" ?
Yeah, kind of.
It doesn't sound like that at all. Although I'm certain you could put the lyrics over it and it'd work out fine.
It's probably in the same scale or something.
this guittar wonderfull
This group is very good. Es ist ganz egal das diese Bande aus Germany ist. Wanderfooll.
IN ROMANIA WHEN ? COME PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time hearing this song and it is amazing
2015 já começou bem :)
Said it once I'll say it again orden ogan sabaton apocalyptica and powerwolf would be the greatest concert of all time
Where did you found my playlist?
I've compared Orden Ogan to Sabaton a few times before. Mostly the fact they only have a few unique songs and most of the rest are just the same song with slightly different lyrics. They're both the sorts of bands you'd think are awesome if you only heard the best of what they've done, but if you try listening to the full discography all the way through, it gets boring as hell before you're even halfway done.
I'd love to learn to write in this font!
you can pick up these odd calligraphy pens that have huge nibs, I manage with relatively little practice
I like this music
hey guys i can't find their song Finis Coronat Opus anywhere on the internet :/ can anyone help?
incredible
Oh Gott lass Freitag werden...!
WAITS ON THE STEPS OF RAVENHEAD
Good Song! :)
