LIONS AT THE GATE are:
Cristian Machado | Diego Verduzco | Ahrue Luster | Stephen Brewer | Fern Lemus
A familiar signature sound, but with a fresh, rejuvenated, and welcomed sight, former Ill NiƱo members Cristian Machado (vocals), guitarists Diego Verduzco and Ahrue Luster (ex-Machine Head) along with bassist Stephen Brewer and drummer Fern Lemus have accomplished with their latest musical offering in Lions At The Gate.
Moving on from their previous projects, these creative forces, Cristian, Diego, Ahrue & Stephen make the most of their creative freedom and new found inspiration. With songs that spread their musical landscapes into new territories on the huge and still metallic sound, exploring melancholy, yet heavy songs.
Machado's powerful vocals are better than ever as he soars with a steady balance and grace with his aggressive scowl,as well as the softer embrace with this project. What is not lost in this band's musical palette are the dynamics of their trademark heaviness, supported by the foundation of big choruses to balance their respective heavier parts within the songs. Be on the lookout for the future full-length album to be available everywhere shortly, as well as opportunities to see Lions At The Gate internationally.
