OGEN Signs With KOLONY RECORDS

December 20, 2010

Italy's OGEN has inked a deal with Kolony Records. The band's first EP, entitled "Black Metal Unbound", is scheduled for release in the spring.

Hartagga will enter Elfo Studio in Tavernago, Italy with producer Daniele Mandelli (FORGOTTEN TOMB, DARK HORIZON) in early 2011. Drums on the effort will be laid down by guest musician Mjøllnir, while all other instruments will be handled by Hartagga himself. "Black Metal Unbound" will also feature a guest appearance by singer George Kosmas (BE'LAKOR).

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.

A preview of the upcoming EP is available below.
