Orden Ogan announce “Tour of the Grave” 2027; Ensiferum confirmed in the lineup

When the spearhead of German Dark Power Metal joins forces with one of Europe’s most influential folk metal bands, an extraordinary live experience is guaranteed: With two consecutive Top 3 entries in the official German album charts, Orden Ogan have firmly established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the European metal scene. For their biggest headlining tour to date, the band from Germany’s Sauerland region welcomes Finnish genre giants Ensiferum to share the stage with them. For decades, Ensiferum have been among the defining forces of epic metal, combining Nordic folklore with melodic heaviness and anthemic power.

The history between the two bands goes back a long way: In 2008, Ensiferum headlined the WinterNachtsTraum Festival hosted by Orden Ogan – at a time when the Germans were still on their rise to the top. Nearly two decades later, the two formations reunite on tour – this time as established international headlining acts. “Ensiferum are a band with tremendous history and international impact,” states frontman Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann. “We highly respect their musical quality and commanding live presence. Although we come from different subgenres, our styles complement each other perfectly. This tour unites epic power, melody and intensity at the highest level – exactly what both bands stand for.” 

The “Tour of the Grave” kicks off on January 7, 2027 in Munich and will take Orden Ogan and Ensiferum to 21 cities across Europe. One day later, on January 8, 2027, Orden Ogan will release their new studio album “Lords of the Grave” via Reigning Phoenix Music. The album continues the band’s uncompromising Dark Power Metal direction and advances the saga of the cursed wanderer Alister Vale to a new narrative climax. Fans can expect an exceptional live package: Orden Ogan’s monumental and audience-focused show meets the epic force of one of the most influential bands in folk metal. An additional support act will be announced at a later date. 

Tickets as well as exclusive album and merchandise bundles are available now through all authorized ticket outlets and via the official Orden Ogan shop at www.ordenogan.de.
