House of Lords (hard US / FM / AOR)

[Gandalf]

“Cartesian Dreams”

Nouvel album
Sortie le 18 septembre

Fin 80 / début 90, sous la houlette de Gregg Giuffria (ex-Angel), House of Lords a réalisé trois albums monstrueux qui resteront à jamais des références en matière de hard rock mélodique. Après une longue hibernation House of Lords est réapparu en 2000 avec “Power and the Myth”, un album controversé qui lorgnait vers le rock progressif des années 70.

Fort heureusement le chanteur James Christian a rapidement remis le cap vers le style qui avait fait la gloire du combo. Doté d’un nouveau line-up et avec la bénédiction de Gregg Giuffria parti vers d’autres horizons, House of Lords allait enfin renaître de ses cendres.

Le monde allait découvrir les nouveaux partenaires de James Christian - Jimi Bell (guitares), B.J. Zampa (batterie) - sur l’impressionnant “World Upside Down”, un disque paru en 2006 et qui remettait enfin les pendules à l’heure du hard rock grandiose. Dopé par ce succès, House Of Lords mettait la barre encore plus haut en 2008, grâce à l’incontournable “Come to My Kingdom”.

Pour ce nouvel album James s’est allié à Mark Baker (qui avait déjà travaillé avec le groupe en 1992 pour l’album “Demon’s Down” et participé au chef d’œuvre de Signal “Loud and Clear”) pour composer la plupart des titres qui figurant sur “Cartesian Dreams”, le majestueux nouvel album de House of Lords. Pour un peu on se croirait presque revenu vers les ambiances monumentales du premier disque de ces seigneurs du hard rock. Brillant !


A voir pour la 1ère fois en concert en France !

Nouvel album annoncé pour le mois de juin :

Frontiers Music Srl will release of HOUSE OF LORDS' tenth studio album, titled "Indestructible", on June 3 in Europe and June 7 in North America. The CD shows once again what HOUSE OF LORDS stands for: powerful and heavy songs, with major hooks and melodies and grandiose arrangements.

"The name 'Indestructible' was chosen because we all felt that we have been through a lot in our long careers and what better way to say, 'Hey, I'm still here' than by giving the CD a bold title," says HOUSE OF LORDS singer James Christian.

"Indestructible" features eleven brand new songs, which masterfully combine the best of heavy and melodic hard rock.

"The album is heavier in the beginning, but we love songs that are both melodic and heavy," continues Christian, "and the idea was to fill the best of both on one CD without sounding like two different bands. I think we have accomplished that. A good example would be the song 'Pillar Of Salt' especially gives a good representation of how the new album sounds: a combination of heavy, melodic, and thoughtful lyrics. This song is one of my favorites!"

Besides being HOUSE OF LORDS tenth studio album, the new record sees the HOUSE OF LORDS lineup celebrating its first ten years together.

"It is amazing to work with BJ, Chris and Jimi," says James Christian. "They are all very aware of what HOUSE OF LORDS represents and they are committed to making records that complement the history of the band. No matter which HOUSE OF LORDS album you listen to, there is a common thread, which comes from the fact that the four of us are musically in sync. This is the real reason why we have been able to produce records of this caliber."

HOUSE OF LORDS will appear at the Frontiers Rock Festival in Trezzo, Italy next Sunday, April 12 and start a European tour in September, with a very special surprise show to be announced soon.

01. Go To Hell

Frontiers Music Srl will release "Saint Of The Lost Souls", the tenth studio album from HOUSE OF LORDS, on March 24.

The song "Hit The Wall", taken from "Saint Of The Lost Souls", can be streamed below.

Recorded and produced by the band's singer and mastermind James Christian, the follow-up to 2015's "Indestructible" has an incredible flow of up-tempo and mid-tempo rockers mixed with power ballads, which lean a bit more toward keyboards this time around, but without compromising the band's trademark sound which is based around Jimi Bell's guitar.

"Saint Of The Lost Souls" is already one of the year's most anticipated melodic rock releases and will not disappoint fans of the band or genre. James Christian's well-crafted and smooth vocals bring the band's songwriting to new heights. Guitarist Jimi Bell is on fire and the melodic riffs throughout the album will leave you breathless. A new addition on bass is Chris Tristram, who is no stranger to the rock community. His solid performance adds another dimension to the sound and BJ Zampa brings a solid and powerful rhythm foundation to HOUSE OF LORDS.

The band has toured relentlessly in Europe and the States in support of their releases and has now become a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents.

HOUSE OF LORDS stands for superb hooks and majestic atmospheres that bring back the memories of their stellar debut album, monumental guitar riffs and a production to die for. All these ingredients you will find on "Saint Of The Lost Souls" which shines from the first second to the last!

Nouvel album à la rentrée, et extrait qui galope.

Frontiers Music Srl continue their long standing relationship with House Of Lords by releasing their 11th studio album, Saints And Sinners, on September 16. Recorded and produced by the band’s singer and mastermind, James Christian, along with keyboardist Mark Mangold, Saints And Sinners is another jewel in House Of Lords' musical crown.

Today, fans can enjoy a new single, "House Of The Lord". Listen below, and pre-order/save Saints And Sinners on CD/Ltd. Ed. Color Vinyl/Digital, here.

House Of Lords debuted in 1989 with the release of their self-titled album, a record which is still regarded as one of the best arena rock releases of the 80’s. The colossal sound, the soaring vocals of James Christian and instrumental capabilities of the band (which featured ex-Angel and Giuffria keyboardist, Gregg Giuffria, along with luminaries Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright and Ken Mary), were reminiscent of such frontrunners as Whitesnake, Deep Purple and Van Halen and immediately brought the band to the attention of the mainstream music media and the masses of ‘80s hard rock fans.

With their sophomore release, Sahara, House Of Lords had considerable radio and video chart success with their cover of Blind Faith’s “Can't Find My Way Home”. After a tour with Nelson in 1991, the group disbanded, eventually coming back together with a new lineup (featuring original members Giuffria and Christian) in 1992 with "Demon's Down". With the change in musical climate at the time, House Of Lords went into hibernation until the original lineup came back together in 2000, releasing the controversial Power And The Myth, an album which featured a sound leaning more towards progressive hard rock with ‘70s rock influences.

After a short European tour, singer James Christian decided to go back to the trademark arena rock sound of House Of Lords, putting together a new lineup with the blessing of founding member Gregg Giuffria, who opted out right before the release of Power And The Myth. New members Jimi Bell on guitars and B.J. Zampa on drums supplied a true powerhouse sound to the fifth studio album, World Upside Down, a record which caused a real stir in the hard rock and melodic rock scenes.

That album was followed up by the equally impressive Come To My Kingdom in 2008, Cartesian Dreams in 2009, Big Money in 2011, Precious Metal in 2014, and Saint Of The Lost Souls in 2017.The band has toured relentlessly in Europe and the States in support of their releases and have now become a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents. House Of Lords stands for superb hooks and majestic atmospheres that bring back the memories of their stellar debut album, monumental guitar riffs, and a production to die for. All these ingredients you will find in abundance on Saints And Sinners.
