Draconian Reign comment:“”We think ‘Before The Gates’ 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 – two things that weren’t a huge part of ‘Infernal Requiem.’
Speaking of their EP: “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 Dimmu Borgir and The Black Dahlia Murder, but run through the lens of gothic fantasy and all things macabre. If you dig extreme metal, you’re in for a treat here. Enjoy and we’ll be seeing you on tour across the UK later this year!”
Draconian Reign are a symphonic blackened deathcore band from the cold heart of the United Kingdom. Combining punishing breakdowns and harsh vocals with the razor sharp riffage of melodic death metal and theatrics of symphonic black metal, the band’s debut EP Necromantic established Draconian Reign as an important new band in the UK deathcore scene.
The group appeared at Bloodstock 2022 off the back of their debut EP, and are now looking ahead to the release of their new EP Tragedy Eternal.
Draconian Reign are:James Hibberd – Vocals
James Mackellar-Still – Guitars
