April 25, 2025 Hear 2 Zen Podcast: Episode 36 - Seeb Levermann From Orden Ogan
Welcome To Episode 36 of The Hear 2 Zen Podcast
Today we are joined by Seeb Levermann from Orden Ogan
Germany’s Orden Ogan, one of the most successful power metal bands of the last decade, released their brand new album, Final Days, on March 12 via AFM Records.
Since the band’s last release, the superb "Gunmen“, Orden Ogan have been at the forefront of power metal. The album, once again produced by band leader Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann, is a real smasher and shows that the band is among the best songwriters in heavy metal. "Final Days“ combines finesse with huge riffs, clever arrangements with great melodies and even after the umpteenth spin you still discover something new. All of this is wrapped in a larger-than-life production so what more can one ask for?
We caught up with frontman Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann to discuss the new album, its guests performers and actually, the end of the world

Welcome to episode 229

MORE ABOUT ASHENMOON
As they release their newest singles, GODTANK, DON'T WAKE ME and celestial track STARGAZE. Known for their raw energy, AshenMoon promises that these tracks will be the first of many new additions to its musical arsenal. The new songs were self-produced by the band and features AshenMoon's eclectic blend of powerful melodies, Yohai Portal’s robust guitar riffs, Jason Ganberg’s signature drumming, and Garry Beers’ (INXS) iconic bass grooves.
Lead vocalist, Toby Rand, recalls when Beers first showed him the opening riff, of GODTANK, was the first piece of music Beers had written since the passing of best friend Michael Hutchence. Beers adds; “Writing the bones of Godtank provided a catharsis during the worst period of my life. Entrusting Toby to write lyrics and melodies has transformed it into one of our most powerful tracks yet.”
With the latest release of Stargaze, (featuring the gorgeous vocals of Kendall Rucks), AshenMoon embark on their first Australian Tour in March, and with an arsenal of new material.
After releasing the UMBRA I record during the pandemic, AM took a hiatus to realign and rework a vast catalogue of music. Partnerships with OneRPM and Premier Artists agency, ensure that 2025 will be busy year for AshenMoon.

January 27, 2025 Hear 2 Zen Podcast: Episode 32 - The Soul Movers
Welcome To Episode 32

Today we chat with The Soul Movers
Fronted by Lizzie Mack and her brother in soul, (much-loved ex-Red Wiggle) Murray Cook, The Soul Movers include top-ranking session legends, bassist Rodney Auld with deputy Matt Crawford – on bass guitar (Jon English, The Beatle Boys). Marko Simec (Waiting For Guinness) on soul keys and the legendary Luke Herbert (Lucky Oceans, Troy Cassar-Daly, Paul Kelly, etc) on drums. Consummate musicians with a passion for all things soul, pop and retro rock, their high-energy live show delivers in spades with fans right across the musical spectrum.
The Soul Movers are back with their new single ‘Hot Sauce’, remixed by LA-based, Australian DJ/producer GEM. The track follows up previous singles ‘Strange Love’ & ‘Splinter’ and is taken from their upcoming fourth studio album ‘Evolution’, due for release March 26th via ABC/Universal Music Australia.
‘Hot Sauce (GEM Remix)’ is the spicy summer electro-disco track straight out of the 1970s. Whether you take it poolside or on a pulsing dance floor (in a COVID-19 safe way), it has the perfect balance of salty lime and spicy salsa – an unstoppable four-on-the-floor retro-electro beat you were chasing. With silver glitter, a pumping bass line by Luxxury, this remix is set to blow up dance-floors the minute folks can hit one again!
The sparkly official video features GEM on the DJ decks and one of the superstars from last year’s retro workout video for ‘Circles Baby’, roller-woman Holly McGlinchy zooming around the dance floor.
We had a chat with Lizzie and Murray about the band, the new album and so much more.
