The overarching concepts of this EP are love and death. Each song is loosely connected thematically, especially \u2018<strong>Before The Gates<\/strong>\u2018 and \u2018<strong>The Funeral<\/strong>,\u2019 which are both about the passing of a loved one and the obsession that haunts the survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We think \u2018<strong>Before The Gates<\/strong>\u2018 covers all the bases of our sound going forward. It tells the story of two lovers separated by death. The video came together really well and was filmed by the great Loki Films. We also had a great model in Amy Marluca, who spent a few hours in a coffin. Sonically, this song contains more orchestral passages and a guitar solo \u2013 two things that weren\u2019t a huge part of \u2018<strong>Infernal Requiem<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We definitely spent more time planning each song as a journey for the listener. There are more orchestral passages, but we are very much a riff-driven band. We take influence from bands such as&nbsp;<strong>Dimmu Borgir<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>The Black Dahlia Murder<\/strong>, but run through the lens of gothic fantasy and all things macabre. Enjoy and hopefully we\u2019ll be seeing you on tour across the UK later this month!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackened deathcore group\u00a0DRACONIAN REIGN\u00a0have unleashed an online debut to their single \u201cBefore The Gates\u201c.
