So as far as I can make out, James Christian is the only original member left in the House of Lords’ current line up. Gregg Giuffria, who originally set up the band, left way back when and is now involved in Vegas. The band were done and dusted after the Demons Down album back in ’92, but were resurrected again by Christian in 2004.
This album was released back in 2017, and I think since the inclusion of Jimi Bell on guitar the band have put out some really good albums. The majority of this record is a classy and well written melodic rock/aor album with crystal clear production. They do let the beast loose on occasion; in the title track, the best track on the album, the tempo increases and so does the riffage. The other track that that really grabs me is album closer The Other Option, as the double kicks are groovin and Jimi Bell is riffing hard. It’s good to see classy melodic rock albums still being recorded as there is a fanbase that still wants them.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
