Metal To
Infinity : 92/100
(Belgium) "...Awaken is a top notch product from
opener and title track 'Awaken' until final track
'Dream'. This four piece surprised me all the way, and
it's really impossible to point out which tracks are the
best."
Strutter
Zine: 8.5 / 10
(Netherlands) "...very impressive. The sound and
production is huge... The choruses are very melodic and
(instrumentally) it goes way up to perfection. ...highly
recommended to both Prog Metal and Melodic Hard Rock
fans!"
Metal Zone: 70%
(Greece) "...contains certain very good moments and
can capture the listener without big effort. What
dominates everywhere is the beautiful atmosphere"
Shapeless
Zine: 7/10
(Italy).
"...it would
be too simplistic (to categorize the music) because their style is
sufficiently nuanced. ...the sound is winning."
Rock Report: 4/6
(Belgium)
"A lot of bands sound like blueprints of their
idols, but that is not the case with this foursome,
(which) provides us with a rather groovy and contemporary
variant of our beloved genre. Not bad at all!"
Colorado
Music Buzz: 4/5
(USA - CO) "...Awaken proves this
thinking-big band is difficult to pigeonhole: They are
not a rock-rock band, but neither are they strictly
metal. However you define them, they are a tight foursome
who maintain their musicality. ...(Shine) should be released as a single."
Progressive
Rock BR
(Brazil)
"...a true excursion into the best world of Melodic
Metal, Heavy Metal and Prog Metal styles. ...very impressive and is a real winner for fans of "Nightwish", "Lacuna Coil", "Within Temptation", and "Queensrÿche". Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable. Deserves the maximum rating."
Music Street Journal
(USA - IL)
"...this is some seriously crunchy, but also very strong, music. If you haven’t heard this band in a while, you haven’t heard them. "

In June 2008, two weeks after it was available on compact disc, Awaken was released to all major providers for digital distibution in downloadable mp3 format. The week of June 9th 2008, digital music giant Rhapsody.com selected Awaken as one of the Top 32 Most Significant New Releases in Metal. Continuing on this success at Rhapsody, BODRAGAZ spent over eight continuous weeks on their charts, listed as one of the Top 100 Artists in Progressive Metal, peaking thus far at number 55 on July 13th 2008 and still making appearances on the Rhapsody charts.
In July 2009, Bodragaz was thrilled to be invited to perform live at the 3rd Annual ROCKLAHOMA music festival. The chance to play the 4-day festival, alongside immortal classic hard rock and metal bands such as Anthrax, Twisted Sister, Great White, Stryper, Ratt, Night Ranger, Jackyl, Anvil and countless others, was truly unforgettable.
Bodragaz has also shared the stage with international phenomenon Bon Jovi as direct support for the band on the Denver stop of their 2006 Have A Nice Day tour (ranked as Pollstar's number 2 rated tour for the first quarter of 2006) as well as having played high profile gigs with Y&T, Slaughter, Enuff Z'Nuff, Ron Keel, Spock's Beard, and KT Tunstall, among others.
We're always looking to play that next cool showcase gig, regional event, or tour, so for booking information, please contact us by email.

Testament is one of the best bands in the thrash metal scene. They'll give a concert on July 29th in İstanbul. As the support band of Testament, Origam is going to perform a show in this concert (maybe the most important show of our career).
In this important day we hope to see our friends with us...
Keep to stay heavy;)
p.s: There will be another guest band in the event that will perform with us. Required explanation will be made by Organization in the following days .
