│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you asked me to name the worldÆs greatest ║ │
│║ record label in todayÆs music business, I ║ │
│║ wouldnÆt be able to give you a straight answer ║ │
│║ as there are some good ones and bad ones. Some ║ │
│║ have great music and great artists whereas ║ │
│║ others may not and being a music journalist, you ║ │
│║ hear so many from different labels that itÆs ║ │
│║ hard to pinpoint and choose your all time ║ │
│║ favorite label. This statement is true for me as ║ │
│║ I have a few labels who I enjoy getting material ║ │
│║ from such as Massacre Records, Nuclear Blast ║ │
│║ Records, SPV Records and AFM Records to name a ║ │
│║ few. These labels have given me some good music ║ │
│║ to listen to so far so I canÆt really find any ║ │
│║ fault with the artists on their roster but wait, ║ │
│║ isnÆt there one I forgot to mention? IsnÆt there ║ │
│║ a label that I like who have a band that I am ║ │
│║ featuring in this review? I do believe there is ║ │
│║ and that label is Frontiers Records who have ║ │
│║ some of the greatest Melodic and Hard Rock ║ │
│║ artists in the business and today I am reviewing ║ │
│║ the new album from one of their artists who are ║ │
│║ called HOUSE OF LORDS. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Formed in 1988 in Los Angeles in the USA, HOUSE ║ │
│║ OF LORDS have had a varying number of line ups ║ │
│║ over the years with a few different guitarists, ║ │
│║ drummers and keyboard players coming and going ║ │
│║ but the vocalist has never changed. From 1993 to ║ │
│║ 2000, there was a seven year break up period for ║ │
│║ the band and after a few legal fights over the ║ │
│║ rights to the name of the band, they reformed in ║ │
│║ 2000 and started recording new material. 2004 ║ │
│║ was the year they signed onto the mighty ║ │
│║ Frontiers Records and they have stuck with this ║ │
│║ label ever since. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The number of releases they have under their ║ │
│║ belt currently stands at 12 including one ║ │
│║ compilation, a live album and ten studio albums ║ │
│║ which includes their soon to be released new ║ │
│║ album ôIndestructibleö and itÆs now time for me ║ │
│║ to dive into this release and give my verdict. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am familiar with a large number of artists on ║ │
│║ the Frontiers label but have only reviewed or ║ │
│║ heard music from a small handful, and HOUSE OF ║ │
│║ LORDS are one of those bands who I know exist ║ │
│║ but never really got around to hearing before ║ │
│║ which of course changed today so is my first ║ │
│║ experience with this band a memorable ║ │
│║ experience? The answer to this question is yes ║ │
│║ and in the good sense but then, when you get ║ │
│║ something from the Frontiers label, you know you ║ │
│║ are in good hands as you always get quality ║ │
│║ material. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôIndestructibleö is not only the bandÆs tenth ║ │
│║ album but also the album that celebrates ten ║ │
│║ years of their current line-up as well. Running ║ │
│║ in at around 51 minutes across 11 new songs, the ║ │
│║ new HOUSE OF LORDS release combines a good ║ │
│║ mixture of heavy and melodic music with some ║ │
│║ tunes kicking your ass with their heavy melodies ║ │
│║ and others making you feel a bit more relaxed ║ │
│║ with their soft melodic melodies and some ║ │
│║ combine elements of heavy and melodic melodies ║ │
│║ at the same time so there is plenty to enjoy. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some examples of these enjoyable diverse ║ │
│║ melodies include ô100MPHö which is the type of ║ │
│║ song that you could crank loud while driving ║ │
│║ either on a real road or a virtual one, ôWe Will ║ │
│║ Always Be Oneö which is a soft and beautiful ║ │
│║ melodic ballad, the powerful opening number ôGo ║ │
│║ To Hellö which is a strong song to start off ║ │
│║ this album with, the catchy ôCall My Bluffö ║ │
│║ which has some powerful melodies that range from ║ │
│║ heavy to melodic, ôEye Of The Stormö which is ║ │
│║ another one of this albums beautiful tracks, ║ │
│║ ôStand And Deliverö which is a pretty cool ║ │
│║ little number and let us not forget the pretty ║ │
│║ sweet title track ôIndestructibleö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The production on this release is pretty sweet ║ │
│║ too as each part has been engineered and mixed ║ │
│║ quite well meaning that the music is enjoyable ║ │
│║ whatever the song. The elements that go into ║ │
│║ this album are done just right including the ║ │
│║ guitars which are perfectly tuned for each song ║ │
│║ meaning they can be heavy one minute and soft ║ │
│║ and melodic the next, the keyboard melodies add ║ │
│║ a bit of extra pizzazz and excellence to the ║ │
│║ music, the rhythm section that is the bass and ║ │
│║ drums add in their own unique touch to the ║ │
│║ melodies and lastly the vocals have their own ║ │
│║ unique style too with an enjoyable performance ║ │
│║ to boot. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bottom line, the new album from HOUSE OF LORDS ║ │
│║ is pretty much what you expect from a release on ║ │
│║ the Frontiers label but that is by no means a ║ │
│║ bad thing of course as you are always guaranteed ║ │
│║ enjoyable music every time and this album is ║ │
│║ just one of those fine examples. Highly ║ │
│║ recommended for any fan of this band, the ║ │
│║ Frontiers label or just great music in general. ║ │
