Orion's Reign - "Ride to War" (lyric video)

Οι Orion's Reign δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 17 χρόνια στην Αθήνα. Ευρωπαϊκής "κοπής" power metal. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έναν ολοκληρωμένο δίσκο προ δεκαετίας ("Nuclear Winter"). (Είχαν προηγηθεί δύο demos και το ep "Beyond Eternity" to 2007.) Το δεύτερο full length album του Αθηναϊκού συγκροτήματος είναι προ των πυλών. Τιτλοφορείται "Scores Of War" κι αναμένεται στα μέσα Οκτωβρίου...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Orion's Reign are back with their second full-length studio album, "Scores of War", set for an October 19th release by Pride & Joy Music.

The album, engineered, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios (Powerwolf, Arch Enemy, Dragonforce, Amorphis etc.), in Sweden by Jens Bergen, Linus Corneliusson and Orion's Reign, includes 11 tracks of epic/symphonic metal.

The band continues the music path it had already begun with the previous album "Nuclear Winter", offering this time a full symphonic experience profoundly influenced by epic movie scores, with a complete orchestra, bombastic rhythms, massive choirs and guest appearances such as Tim Ripper Owens (Judas Priest, Iced Earth), Bob Katsionis (Firewind), Mark Boals (Malmsteen) and others.

The record is extremely diversified and contains much to explore, from Symphonic Speed Metal to catchy (Hard) Rock sounds, as well as operatic refrains filigreeing rich emotionality. The single "The Undefeated Gaul" is the first appetizer of the album, with fast riffs, heavy rhythm section and furious guitar solos! Stay tuned for more single releases!»

Orion's Reign: «Here's a story of a warrior who rides into the battle, knowing he is going to perish. This song stands as a metaphor for the many times in our lives we enter a battle that we know we are going to lose; but what it really matters is that we fight and do the best we can!»
