Orden Ogan release 'Gunman' music video

German Power metal band Orden Ogan premieres the first video clip taken from the upcoming album 'Gunmen'. The group’s new music video, filmed for the song 'Gunman', was once again directed by Rainer "Zipp" Fränzen, who works with the band since 2012’s 'To the End' album and its video releases 'The Things We Believe in' and 'Land of the Dead'.

"The creation of the 'Gunman' clip was once again real team work", band leader Seeb Levermann states. "The new Orden Ogan album 'Gunmen' is set in a dark fantasy Wild West environment, so obviously we had to go to Monument Valley (Utah) to shoot there. There is no other place in the world that is more "Wild West”. We shot at the classic Monument Valley scenery as well as at the famous John Ford's Point and also did horseback rides."

The second extensive part of filming took place in Germany, but also here the band tried something new. "A Western city in an adventure park proved to be the perfect location", Seeb smiles. "Things came full circle here, because we've also recorded the drums for 'Gunman' there - to be more specific - in the "Western Saloon" of the Fort Fun adventure park. We wanted to have this huge 80ies snare ambience that you can only get from big rooms. When the Wild West concept took form, we learned about the Saloon (in Fort Fun), did some test recordings there and were totally blown away. The hall sounds amazing and 'Gunmen' may be my best sounding mix so far."

The 'Gunmen' album consists of 10 songs, including a guest appearance by former Leaves' Eyes/Theatre Of Tragedy vocalist Liv Kristine on the track 'Come with Me to the Other Side'. 'Gunmen' was once again produced by the band'’s guitarist/vocalist Seeb Levermann, who just recently has also completed mix & mastering of the upcoming Rhapsody Of Fire release 'Legendary Years'.

'Gunmen' will be released on July 7th via AFM Records, available as CD, limited digipak (incl. 'Live at Wacken 2016' bonus DVD), limited colored vinyl (red and silver), limited picture vinyl and limited "coffin" box set (incl. ltd. digipak, a figure of the band mascot "Alister Vale" (ca. 15 cm tall) and more).
