OGEN: New Album Track Listing And Cover Art Revealed

[lorenzo_kolony]

Italian atmospheric black metal project OGEN will see the release of its debut EP, "Black Metal Unbound", in Spring 2011 via Kolony Records. The CD is currently being recorded at Elfo Studio in Italy with producer Daniele Mandelli (FORGOTTEN TOMB, DARK HORIZON). It features a guest appearance by BE’LAKOR lead singer George Kosmas in the song "Shattered Earth volcano".

OGEN was formed in 2010 as a solo project of mastermind Hartagga who had the desire to explore the field of extreme metal, pushing his lifelong musical quest further. The path to follow was clear since the beginning: from the early stages of the project, OGEN was meant to contribute its view and compositions to the ever-changing genre of black metal. With this in mind, the songwriting process started to flow easily, revealing OGEN's ability to forge tunes made of both black metal edges and episodes of not-so-obvious harmonic tapestry. An EP was born, set to firstly declare OGEN's will to provide the world of metal with an enchantingly estranging extreme metal outfit, which never lacks perspective and whose wall of sound, easily more relevant than speed for speed's sake, will take listeners on a trip to the deep heart of forgotten landscapes.

"Black Metal Unbound" track listing:

01. Shattered Earth volcano
02. Black tusk retaliation
03. Crest of the forgotten
04. As a leaden sun shineth upon
05. A steep slope to desolation

Hartagga, mastermind of Italian atmospheric black metal project OGEN, has issued the following update:

"We have completed work in the studio, both the recording and mixing/mastering duties are gone. I think the result is way beyond what I expected sound-wise. Producer Daniele Mandelli [FORGOTTEN TOMB, DARK HORIZON] did an incredible job on this album, and thanks to him we are one step closer to get it out there in record time. If you are looking for some inspired, atmospheric metal, then I guess you won't be disappointed while listening to "Black Metal Unbound"!"

OGEN's debut EP "Black Metal Unbound" is tentatively due in late Spring via Kolony Records.
