Speaking about LIONS AT THE GATE's collaboration with Odell, Ahrue said: "He's worked with BAD WOLVES. We finished this record in 20 days, and we believe it sounds better than anything we've ever done in the past." Usually an ILL NIÑO record would take us three to six months to finish. And the crazy thing was the process of writing 'em was way easier than it has ever been for us. But the songs are better than anything we've written. But at the same time, there's heaviness to it. It sounds, in my opinion, better than anything that Cristian and I have ever done together, and that includes all the ILL NIÑO records that we've done together."Īsked about the musical direction of LIONS AT THE GATE, Ahrue said: "It's a very polished sound, similar to… I don't wanna say it sounds like 'Confession', but there's a lot of singing on it, there's a lot of production. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I can't even explain how happy I am with how this came out. Luster discussed his renewed collaboration with Machado and Verduzco in a recent interview with Pierre Gutierrez of Rock Talks. Luster stated: "I'm more excited about LIONS AT THE GATE than anything that I've been a part of since I started my musical career." It's quite frankly some of the best music we've ever written. Each member brings a unique set of talent and tools. I feel a sense of freedom and am completely reinvigorated and even anxious (in a good way) to be a part of something that pulls influence from so many directions. Life is all about change and I feel that this music is the most dynamic and honest that we've ever written. Verduzco added: "I'm beyond proud and excited to announce our new band LIONS AT THE GATE. It's deep, it's memorable, I can't wait for everyone to hear it, I can't wait for everyone to hear the featured female artist on one of the songs." We finally made a modern metal album that metalheads will enjoy beginning to end. Take away our musical history, take away our long hair, take away our personal feelings, just make believe we were never there. We've all been making albums for a long time but I think it was time for us to make something special and memorable again. When LIONS AT THE GATE's formation was first announced in early June, Machado said: "I feel so blessed to be in LIONS AT THE GATE. The first four webisodes featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the first LIONS AT THE GATE LP can be seen below. Tentatively due later in the year, LIONS AT THE GATE's debut album was produced by FAILURE ANTHEM's Kile Odell, who has previously worked with FOZZY and MOTIONLESS IN WHITE. The group's lineup is completed by bassist Stephen Brewer ( WESTFIELD MASSACRE) and drummer Fern Lemus. Former ILL NIÑO members Cristian Machado (vocals), Ahrue "Luster" Ilustre (guitar) and Diego Verduzco (guitar) recently launched a new band called LIONS AT THE GATE.
