Reign Supreme have signed with Mediaskare and will release a new 7 song EP by the name of “Sky Burial” through the label later this year. The group are scheduled to enter the studio shortly to begin recording the offering with producer Will Putney (Suicide Silence, Four Year Strong) helming the sessions.
Speaking on the new effort’s title band frontman Jay Pepito offered:
“Sky Burial comes from the Tibetan tradition of bringing the dead to a mountain, or other place where vultures gather. The vultures and other animals consume the corpse, and hence, it becomes a vessel to feed and care for these creatures,” explained Pepito on the title for the EP “It’s a cool idea, wherein your empty shell of a person becomes of some utility to some other thing, and I just found the idea of that fascinating; it makes more sense to me than embalming the dead in an attempt to preserve some self-imposed idea of what they were like in life, and then tossing that homemade mannequin into a pine box, and letting it rot.
It seems to me to be more pragmatic, to let yourself be the thing that sustains your ecosystem. It reminds us that we are just animals, that we are not special because of our smart cars and Facebook, and that we, in a sense, are simply carrion.”
