House of Lords in Brazil
House Of Lords are confirmed to perform at the HARD IN RIO FESTIVAL In Rio De Janerio, Brazil on April 26th 2008.
Jimi Bell will receive full tour support of Marshall Amplification on the bands upcoming tour.
:: Press Release From Frontiers Records ::
Recording sessions of the brand new HOUSE OF LORDS album “Come To My Kingdom” have been completed in Florida and mixing stages have started in the hands of Dennis Ward. The new album is a natural progression from "World Upside Down" and was entirely written by the band along with the “5th Lord” Jeff Kent. In the words of James Christian “We really had an amazing time with this new CD. I can't remember when things flowed so easily in terms of writing and recording. I think when people hear the new record they will be able to tell immediately that this is a band with direction and vision”. The songs were written from life experiences that cover a range of emotions. But one common thread flows throughout the record and that is finely crafted songs. “Jimi Bell, BJ Zampa and Chris McCarvil and Jeff Kent have been an absolute joy to work with” continues Christian, “They are my brothers and they share the same passion to write and perform Classic Rocks songs that will stand the test of time”. "Come To My Kingdom" is classic House Of Lords with all the trademarks that captured the band so many fans in the early days.
HOUSE OF LORDS RAISE THE ROOF AT ZROCK

The guys would like to thank everyone for their support on the day and look forward to seeing you all on the House of Lords World Tour next year!

HOUSE OF LORDS
an invitation to "Come to my Kingdom"
 |
 |
Frontiers Records is excited to announce all details surrounding the forthcoming HOUSE OF LORDS album “Come To My Kingdom” to be released on March 14th 2008. The band's previous studio album “World Upside Down” was a real fan favourite, so James Christian and the guys went back to the recording with the precise task to create a true rock milestone which could pick up where “World Upside Down” left off. With the help of the “Fifth Lord” Jeff Kent plus Tommy Denander and Chris Pelcer, the band's songwriting talents of James Christian, BJ Zampa and Jimi Bell have been flourishing to reach some of the highest levels in the band’s career ever.
Written during the summer 2007, the album was recorded in the fall and mixed by Dennis Ward in November / December. The result is truly outstanding. From the signature intro of “Purgatorio Overtoure n.2” to the epic atmospheres of the title track through to soaring melodic numbers like “I Need To Fly” to the in-your-face attack of “One Foot in the Dark” and to the baroque ballad “Another Day From Heaven”, this record has truly everything the fans may want to ask to James Christian and his cohorts.
”Come to My Kingdom” will include the following songs:
Purgatorio Overtoure n.2; Come To My Kingdom; I Need To Fly; I Don’t Wanna Wait All Night; Another Day From Heaven;
In A Perfect World; The Dream; One Foot In The Dark; Your Every Move; I Believe; One Touch; Even Love Can Save Us;
In The Light; Another Day From Heaven (Acoustic Version)* * Exclusive Bonus Track for Europe.
House of Lords are already planning live appearances in the spring / summer 2008 with the plan to storm the European audiences. The band was also already confirmed for the ROCKLAHOMA festival 2008. Prepare to “Come to My Kingdom” to be released on Frontiers Records on March 14 with a release in Japan scheduled on King Records.

MELODIC ROCK 2006 AWARDS
MELODIC ROCK has announced the
Top 30 CD's of 2006
2. House Of Lords
World Upside Down
James Christian put it all on the line for this release. After the lukewarm reception to the comeback Power & The Myth release, James controversially moved on with a new line-up and a new vision. It paid off. This is classic House Of Lords in just about every way and the critical acclaim garnered from the release justify James' decision. While I am sure most would have preferred to see the classic line-up in action, the anthemic melodic rock songs that fill this album are good enough to convert everyone to the new era.

The latest reviews of the the new House of Lords CD are HOT!.
"World Upside Down is quite possibly the best CD House Of Lords has ever released. As James Christian has stated “This lineup is here to stay and this is only the beginning of many more great records from us. The music speaks for itself. ... CLICK HERE TO READ MORE!
This is a bloody fine melodic rock record and everyone involved deserves a little credit. This is a very energetic record and literally jumps from the speakers. James Christian sounds amazing – as good as I can remember and certainly the best since Demons Down . New guitarist Jimi Bell plays all over this record - riffs galore, but some great solos and blazing overdubs too. Jeff Kent and BJ Zampa supply a hearty rhythm section and Jeff double-dips with some traditional House Of Lords keyboard parts. Original keys man and band founder Gregg Giuffria returns in a cameo role, with several keyboard passages included,..... CLICK HERE TO READ MORE REVIEWS!
