In January 1999, the band recorded its first Demo-Cd intitled "Brothers Of Another Time". The sound of "Brothers..." is very articulated, in addiction to the power rhytmics of german power metal, we find a thick net of bass and guitar's riffs and solos, which makes the tracks always different. Trumpets, violins and perfect orchestral parts get the Orion Riders's sound very interesting. Besides that, a melodious voice gives a certain enjoyable feeling to the songs, since the first listening. "Brothers" was excellently reviewed by national Magazines such as Metal Shock (Top Demo), Metal Hammer, Power Zone.

They start recording on March 2000 the second Demo "Leave". The sound is quite different, more energic and progressive, and surely more mature.

Orion Riders start recording during October 2002 at Riccardo Samperi's TRP studios (Catania - Italy) their first full lenght CD titled "A New Dawn"...recording session, mixing and mastering, Orion Riders finished on March 2003.

They started promoting and after some months we signed an agreement with Lion Music, important Finnish Label.

The official release is out on January 2004...After many live shows and promotional events during these years, now Orion Riders are ready to record the second studio album!

You can listen soon promotional songs on myspace "Endless" and "Xtrain".
