The Ordher

History

The group formed in 2005 by Fabio Lentino (vox/bass), Mauricio Weimar (drums/percussion) – both former members of Nephasth – and Fabiano Penna (guitars), former member of Rebaelliun, has developed their own style towards extreme death metal music, using elements from other styles as thrash metal, heavy metal and even rock music. The Ordher have the experience of their previous bands: Rebaelliun released 4 titles worldwide and played 4 European tours and 1 Brazilian tour on the late 90’s. Nephasth played a huge Brazilian tour and released 2 acclaimed albums worldwide. Both bands shared the stage with acts such as Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Vader, Hate Eternal and Vital Remains, what made The Ordher a very mature band since their very beginning.

Between July and August ’06, after months only rehearsing, The Ordher recorded 'Promo 06', their first demo, containing 3 tracks. The demo was widely promoted in the web among Metal fans and record labels, an after one year as an independent band, The Ordher finally signed a record deal, with American company Unique Leader Records.

In early 2007 band recorded 'Weaponize', The Ordher’s debut album, that was released in October ’07. The album got a good response from mags and webzines all over the world, especially in Brazil, what put the band finally on the road. After some shows, in early 2008 Mauricio Weimar left the band for personal reasons, and so Cassio Canto, an ex student of Mauricio, replaced him. A few weeks later The Ordher starts a Brazilian tour as support act for the American legend Possessed, in some of the main cities in the country. A couple of weeks later they play in one of the biggest Metal festivals in Brazil, Forcaos, with Krisiun, and some more gigs followed. During the tour, they unleashed the videoclip of the song 'Rise', that shows the original line-up playing live in their hometown. At that time, 'Weaponize' was released in Poland as a CD bouns of the local magazine Thrash ‘Em All, which meant 5000 copies all over the country.

In March ’09 band recorded a Motörhead coversong: 'Them not Me' was the first recording with the new line-up, and was promoted only in the web. Right after this, The Ordher started to record the new album 'Kill the Betrayers', with release date set for September ’09. New album comes faster and more punishing and a great follow up to their debut 'Weaponize', with ear catching tempo changes, progressive oriented guitar leads and strong refrains. Right before the album release, The Ordher was confirmed on the Funeral Nation Tour, their first attack in Europe. Band was invited to support Vader and Marduk over 9 European countries to promote their new album and finally start to build a fan base overseas.
