I imagined a protagonist venturing into a foreboding land of immense forests, filled with mysterious beings \u2013 where magic is real, and witchcraft is feared.\u201d<\/p>\n The album is a 40-minute piece, separated into \u201cchapters\u201d. It flows together with no gaps, following the film\u2019s hero throughout their journey. \u2018Chapter One\u2019 depicts the ominous\u00a0start to the journey, which will eventually\u00a0end with a triumphant return, before disappearing into the night.<\/p>\n He goes on to expand, \u201cThe \u2018Tudor Gate\u2019 of the title was originally envisaged to be a \u2018community\u2019 or \u2018cult\u2019, influenced by films like Blood On Satan\u2019s Claw and The Wicker Man. The music itself is influenced by \u201860s and \u201870s horror soundtracks to films by Dario Argento and John Carpenter but also to writers like H.P Lovecraft and the world of \u2018weird fiction\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Welcome To The Tudor Gate \u2013 we hope that you will never leave\u2026<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Snippets:<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n Video:<\/span>
