Didn't Go Platinum

Episode Eight: To The End by Orden Ogan


Listen Later

It's about time we did a power metal episode. Rock Out Stand Out founder Lottie Whittingham joins Tim to discuss To The End, the third full-length from Germany's Orden Ogan. It's a brilliant album, jam-packed with anthemic choruses, big hooks and impressive riffs, but it was all but ignored in the UK when it was released in 2012.

Tim and Lottie do a deep dive into the record and their own personal histories with it. They discuss why they think it's so good, whether it's a rare example of anti-capitalist power metal, and why if you're cold you should just put a jumper on. The central heating isn't going on until November at the earliest.

They also throw in a needless amount of Simpsons references and Tim compares himself to Josh Widdecombe.
