Lions At The Gate release new music video for ‘Burn The Candle’

LIONS AT THE GATE have released a new music video!

The band have unveiled a video for their brand new single, Burn The Candle. The track marks their first release since signing with Reigning Phoenix Music and offers a glimpse into the next era for the metal powerhouse, with a full campaign set to unfold in 2026.

Frontman Cristian Machado shares insight into the song’s meaning, 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.”

On the signing, Reigning Phoenix Music co-founder Gerardo Martinez adds, “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.”
