Lions At The Gate Sign with Reigning Phoenix Music, Release New Track “Burn The Candle”
Signing with a new record label is a big deal for a band, so it makes sense that sometimes they pair the announcement of finding a new home with the release of a new track. And that’s exactly what happened with Lions At The Gate, the band full of ex-Ill Niño members that’s since been working at carving a path of their own.
The new track, “Burn The Candle” is described by the band as a “rallying cry for unity amid division.” Speaking of the track in a more in-depth manner, frontman Cristian Machado sheds some light on what’s going on under the hood with this new track.
“’Burn The Candle’ is a song about the divide being driven into our societies. Hatred is being normalized right in front of our eyes. No one is immune to it, we are being fed constant direction to build fortresses around our hearts because it’s a war out there, and so lead your ego into battle. This song yells out to people, divided we are like sheep waiting to be led to a slaughter. So proudly we wave the triple-edged sword driven into the side of humanity: greed, pride, lust. I know eventually we open our eyes, but for how much longer will we burn the candle at both ends.”
As for the band’s signing with Reigning Phoenix Music, the label’s co-founder Gerardo Martinez gushed at how excited they were to have Lions At The Gate join their lineup of clients.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Lions at the Gate to the roster. With their deep-rooted legacy, fearless sound and bold vision, they embody exactly the kind of creative force we’re proud to support. Their debut album showed what happens when raw emotion meets uncompromising craftsmanship and we could not be more excited to help amplify what’s coming next.”
