MARCH 22 2008

Sorry for the long delay between updates. We had been focusing on our myspace site (www.myspace.com/ogre), but it was brought to our attention in Japan that we probably shouldn't neglect ogrerock.com, so here we go.

In case you couldn't tell/didn't hear, our trip to Japan was a major success, and an amazing time. There are tentative plans for a more extensive write-up about the trip to be featured on another site (or two,) so check back for updates on that.

Thanks must go to, first and foremost, our gracious hosts Toreno and Mai, who took care of our every need. The sound crews at each venue certainly put American clubs to shame. We're certainly going to miss the A+ treatment and respect that the clubs showed us throughout our trip. All the bands we played with were top notch, on stage and off. ETERNAL ELYSIUM blew our minds, and were a tasteful and classy bunch. Thanks for putting up with these obnoxious Americans! In Osaka, PALM and BIRUSHANAH destroyed with some of the tightest thrash we've ever heard. Last, but certainly not least, playing with CHURCH OF MISERY and using their equipment was an honor and privilege. Tatsu, Hideki, Tom and Junji were the greatest guys, and every night they played, we got to hear one of the heaviest bands ever. And of course, Hideki playing keybords with us during our Tokyo performances of "Plague of the Planet" will go down as an all time career highlight. As I said, a more extensive bre! akdown of the trip will appear soon.

"Plague..." is available in Japan right now, and it should be available everywhere else after April 1. We've put a lot of heart and soul into this project, and it's especially gratifying to us that the early buzz around it is so positive. Our buddy Arz from stonerrock.com gave the album a great review. Check it out:

Also, another great review from Sam Pfeifle of the Portland Phoenix. Thanks, Sam!

APRIL 20 2006

To say that our tour with Agnosis went well would be an understatement! We had a blast, and all the shows went better than we ever hoped. Thanks to all the great bands we played with, as well as everyone who came out to see us. It was great to see so many folks out there every night, and you certainly made the trip worth our while. Look for us again in the summer!

While we were in CT, we recorded two songs that are going to be included in a vinyl-only compilation album to be released on Swayingball Records later this year. We recorded a new version of our seminal mainstay "AGE OF ICE," as well as an all new track, "GOD OF IRON." We recorded at Underground Productions in Seymour, CT, and we couldn't be happier with how the tracking went. This will be a great comp, celebrating underground metal acts, and we are stoked be involved and to finally get some OGRE put on vinyl.

NOW THE BIG NEWS: I know we've been talking about this new record, but we finally have things set in stone. After much deliberation, we are now happy to finally reveal that our new record, SEVEN HELLS will be released world-wide this summer by Leafhound Records. To say that we're excited and proud to be sharing a label with bands such as Church of Misery, Sonic Flower, and the Blood Farmers is quite an understatement! It should be out by July, in time for our next mini-tour. We will post more details as the become finalized.

Once again, we're in the mix for the Portland Phoenix best music poll! We were runners up last year, and we know we can make it this year with your help. They've made voting more complicated, so here's what you gotta do:

DECEMBER 1 2005

Our show with Earthride can only be described as a career highlight. Not only did Earthride bring real doom to Portland and kick our fucking asses, not only did we play the best we have in a while, but Dave Sherman joined us onstage to sing Pentagram's "Review Your Choices" with us at the end. It was phenomenal. Thanks to those guys for stopping in Portland. We had a blast.

Our performance at the show was reviewed in the USM free press. Check it out here
Thank you, Alex Steed!

Yes, it seems like momentum is building for us as the new album nears completion. We are artist of the month over at www.antimusic.com. Mark from the Hensch's Hometown Heroes column over there has been tireless in his support of our band. Check it out here: www.antimusic.com/features/05/ogre/

Ross listed some albums that were influential for us over on the COSMIC TRAVELS section at roadburn.com. Definitely a cool place to be.

Hopefully, we'll have a MAJOR announcement to make soon about the new album. Keep checking back for updates!

This is an all star show you can't miss. We'd like to extend thanks to Ralph and Jim from the Paperback Bazaar in Somersworth NH for helping us promote our show down there.

It looks like we will be recording in March, and we're all very excited. We've had some nibbles from some labels, but we are holding out for the big bite. If you are interested, or have any suggestions for us, contact us @ ogrerock@maine.rr.com
See ya on the 11th!

As stated in an earlier update, we have been taking some time off from shows to work on new material. The three of us are all very excited over how it's all coming together.

That's all the news we have right now. Thank you to everyone who have supported us and who have spread the word. As a grassroots project with no label support (YET), we appreciate all the enthusiasm that people have been showing us!
