porcelainheart- I am absolutely STUPEFIED that this obscure little gem is on Bandcamp! I really need to look through my old YouTube playlists more often, and see what's found their way here. Chuggy and riff-laden black metal with a fierce attitude. FFO Dead Hills, Sainte Marie des Loups, and Atrum Inritus. Favorite track: Black Tusk Retaliation.

Morts Black metal with a greater sense of tunefulness than a lot of other black metal out there! It's not revolutionary, but it should give pause to a few listeners who'd normally automatically dismiss the genre to consider that it may just have some merit to it after all, occasionally... Favorite track: Shattered Earth Volcano.

1.
I crossed the path of implacable wolves from afar I chased their traces back to a well-hidden lair Led by the star I was against the bite of frost I went Hear the voice of lands decaying Shattered Earth volcano And every word I said shall die through the blazing chasms and the vast world I wandered upon shall die through the blazing chasms and every world I dreamed of shall sink into the vortex eye oblivion’s perennial rest it lies ahead of my path Shattered Earth volcano Shattered Earth volcano
2.
I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights where every wind whispers of loss Under dim skies I will chase storms of the past whence ghosts of woe have come to haunt me till I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights to chase the wolves, I’ve been a prey of I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights where every wind whispers of loss By hieratic moons through the piles of snow my bare hands will dig the effigy of valor I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights where every wind whispers of loss I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights to chase the wolves, I’ve been a prey of I’ve gone beyond the snowy heights where every wind whispers of loss
3.
Forget I did the world before the one I came from lost to me old legends I will seek no more for I’ve become one out of them Crest of the forgotten will you ever cross it? I’ve thousand eyes, among the branches the rocks my arms, the trees my legs And every chance for you to find me is lost against my servants’ will majestic trees turn into spears while you thought them ever dormant...
4.
I looked into the the winter’s heart saw nothing but an endless void There lies the path, the path I’ve left here starts the one which admits no failure I crawl in search of a light that can not be and ride the breeze of perennial wander As a leaden sun shineth upon As a leaden sun shineth upon
5.
I came from afar, led by the hunger in search for treasures the mountains witnessing my greedy efforts to overcome their might A steep slope to desolation it’s what I fell from, misled by shadows A steep slope to desolation it’s what I fell from, misled by shadows Never I will see the oceans’ vastity, far behind me I fell from above, the deepest heart of woods hold me in a blind embrace no time nor space, I lost perception a breathing tree myself A steep slope to desolation it’s what I fell from, misled by shadows A steep slope to desolation it’s what I fell from, misled by shadows

about

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, entitled 'Black Metal Unbound', 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. For fans of EMPEROR, OPETH, early IN THE WOODS
