The group’s new music video was once again directed by Rainer ‘Zipp’ Fränzen, who works with the band since 2012’s ‘To The End’ album and its video releases ‘The Things We Believe In’ and ‘Land Of The Dead’.
“The creation of the Gunman clip was once again real team work”, band leader Seeb Levermann states. “The new ORDEN OGAN album Gunmen is set in a dark fantasy Wild West environment, so obviously we had to go to Monument Valley (Utah) to shoot there. There is no other place in the world that is more ‘Wild West’. We shot at the classic Monument Valley scenery as well as at the famous John Ford’s Point”
The second extensive part of filming took place in Germany, but also here the band tried something new. “A Western city in an adventure park proved to be the perfect location”, Seeb smiles. “Things came full circle here, because we’ve also recorded the drums for ‘Gunman’ there – to be more specific – in the Western Saloon of the Fort Fun adventure park. We wanted to have this huge 80’s snare ambience that you can only get from big rooms. When the Wild West concept took form, we learned about the Saloon (in Fort Fun), did some test recordings there and were totally blown away. The hall sounds amazing and ‘Gunmen’ may be my best sounding mix so far.”
The ‘Gunmen’ album consists of 10 songs, incl. a guest appearance by former Leaves’ Eyes/Theatre Of Tragedy vocalist Liv Kristine on the track ‘Come With Me To The Other Side’.
‘Gunmen’ was once again produced by the band’s guitarist/vocalist Seeb Levermann, who just recently has also completed mix & mastering of the upcoming Rhapsody Of Fire release ‘Legendary Years’.
