Grand Illusion - Prince of PaupersThe relesase of Brand New World in 2010 and all the postive repsone the album gained, was fuel for more song writing and only a couple of weeks after the Brand New World release, the first new songs was written. It only took a three months to come up with 15 songs and in August 2010 Anders, Peter and Per took of to Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles, to record with Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth, Spinal Tap, Ringo Starr), Steve Lukather (Toto), Jay Graydon (Airplay, Manhattan Transfer, Air Supply) and Tim Pierce (Rick Springfield, Micheal Jackson, Phil Collins). A big moment for the Gi boys to record with so many of their musical heroes.

Frontiers Records will release the new HOUSE OF LORDS studio album,"Big Money", on September 23 in Europe and September 27 in North America.
Following on the heels of "Cartesian Dreams", HOUSE OF LORDS is coming back with another amazingly strong release which presents again all the elements of its melodic hard rock sound.
"I am very proud to have done four HOUSE OF LORDS CDs with the same lineup," says singer James Christian. "I enjoy working with every one of them and plan to do many more records in the future. Mark Baker has now been on board as a co-writer for the last two CDs I love working with him. We are totally on the same page when writing new music."
According to a press release, "Big Money" starts with the trademark vocals of James Christian and crashes into a power rock classic that you will not forget after the first listen, followed by in a song that Christian describes as "the band's best work to date," "One Man Down". Each song has its own distinct quality as you would expect from the LORDS and once again the album is full of soaring choruses, awesome guitar work and songs that grab you from the first listen and don't let go.
"The elements we use on 'Big Money' are always the same for us and that is to write and record the best songs that we can," explainsChristian. "We always write enough songs for more than one CD and then we pick the best songs to make up the new record. We will always be a melodic rock group. It is the music that made us want to be musicians in the first place. So we will always stay true to that art!"
James teamed up again on the songwriting with longtime friend and partner Mark Baker, along with the other bandmembers Jimi Bell and BJ Zampa and Swedish producer/guitarist Tommy Denander.

Holy Force is the personal project and platform for versatile guitarist Ango Chen . He has some heavy hitters helping him on this self-titled debut including vocalist Mark Boals , bassist Mike LePond , and drummer Kenny 'Rhino' Earl . With little doubt, considering this line up, expectations are high for Holy Force.
Fortunately, Chen and company do not disappoint. Essentially this work is melodic heavy and power metal driven by the guitar theatrics of Ango Chen, who plays in the neo-classical rock and metal tradition. He shreds and soars with ease throughout Holy Force with basic fret fireworks, but also large doses of guitar synths. He also offers three instrumentals: two guitar, Breathe and Waiting, and one piano, Sky Etude.
Line Up:
Mark Boals - Vocals (Iron Mask, Mark Boals, Ring of Fire, Seven the Hardway, The Codex, ex-Empire, ex-Maestro Alex Gregory, ex-Royal Hunt)
Ango Chen - Guitar (Michael Viscera,Loudness,Obsession,)
Mike LePond - Bass (Symphony X,Seven Witches, Sleepy Hollow, Stygia, Distant Thunder, ex-Brute Force, ex-Heathen's Rage, ex-Jack Frost, ex-Painmuseum, ex-Operatika (live), ex-Malakis Reign)

Info: Irish
Under their original name of Clan Na Gael, the Orlando-based Seven Nations (led by Kirk McLeod) solely played traditional Celtic tunes. But soon, after realizing that (1) no one could spell "Clan Na Gael" and (2) about seven other groups used the same moniker, the band decided on a name change. Wanting to evoke more than just the Scottish/Irish portion of their Celtic influences, they decided upon Seven Nations, which encompasses all of the Celtic territories of Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Wales, Cornwall, Galicia, and the Isle of Man. This name change period also saw the addition of a drummer, amending their "Celtic" label to also include "Rock."
Big Dog represents these changes' fruition. Seven Nati
ons still play traditional tunes, but they also begin to play originals, principally by McLeod and "antipypr" Neil Anderson. Big Dog also sees the band setting themselves apart from their ilk by performing a cover of "Under the Milky Way," a 1980s hit by The Church. The use of Anderson's bagpipes in place of a rock guitar solo is an innovation that simply has to be heard to be fully appreciated.
Even with songwriting chores added to their repertory of skills, Seven Nations' song talent still lies primarily in choice. Trad songs like "Blackleg Miner" and "Crooked Jack" are definitely among the highlights on an album with few. The main drawback of the album is its sound; tinny at worst, the production seems to show a band that lacks confidence, something that is present in spades on their live Road Kill releases. One could possibly assume that the studio atmosphere led to a stifling of the creative influence, because, despite its solid musicianship, Big Dog comes off as a rather stale affair.
It isn't until the dual Road Kill releases that Seven Nations real
ly comes to life. A change of drummers may have been an ingredient in this rejuvenation, as the reluctant sticking of Nick Watson is replaced by the eager pounding of Ashton Geoghagan, who adds real rock power -- as well as some impressive solos -- to the undercarriage of the songs, something that was missing in their studio counterparts. Most importantly, though, there is a sense of fun on these two albums, with the stage banter and band laughter enhancing an already energetic pair of CDs. The songs benefit from being let loose from the studio confines and allowed to breathe free.
The live atmosphere, unfortunately, also allows a lot of what is wrong with Seven Nations' w
ork to come to light. The level of pretense is sometimes overwhelming. Often it only shows up in little things -- like McLeod counting off "one, two, three, four" in Spanish at the beginning of a song, the band wearing kilts onstage, or Anderson affecting an Irish accent. But then at other times -- like Anderson's moody narration that opens their live rendition of "Whiskey in the Jar" -- it all but ruins the rest of the song. Piper Anderson's chops seem very impressive on first listen, but after a few repeats, he appears to have a limited number of tricks up his sleeve. Anderson left the band shortly after the release of these two albums to work on solo projects.
With a continual change of bandmates (only bassist Struby has remained throughout each inception), Seven Nations has been akin to a Kirk McLeod solo project -- in the same way that The Cure is very much Robert Smith's band with other members for ease of production -- so it was no surprise when McLeod announced the release of a solo album. The surprise was that it was going to contain only solo piano works with voice. Apparently, McLeod's occasional solo piano interludes scattered throughout the Seven Nations oeuvre (e.g., "The Selling of Waternish" on Big Dog) had been fan favorites -- although not mine.
And So Piano is very much a solo album. McLeod's piano is accompanied by many layers of his own voice in harmony and chorus with himself. Not only is this announced boldly in the liner notes ("This CD contains only acoustic piano and vocals performed by Kirk McLeod."), but it is also strategically placed just above the designation "Produced by Kirk McLeod."
All but one of the songs on So Piano were also written by McLeod; he reinterprets previous band numbers (including an expanded "Waternish"), as well as adding new tracks. The final cut seems to affirm my opinion of Seven Nations as Cure-like, with a cover of that band's single "Boys Don't Cry." The trouble with this song (as with the rest of the album) is that McLeod has a tendency towards heavy dramatics in his singing and playing. In a band setting, there was always an opportunity for balance with the other instruments, but here there is no such check system: the man is in complete control of everything happening in the studio, and he allows himself to let his dramatic trait run free, to the detriment of the listener.
Which made it all the more surprising that, of these four albums, I kept returning more and more to So Piano. It grew on me, as the phrase goes. This was probably due more to the kind of music than to anything else. One of the reasons for the success of this album musically over the band-oriented material is that McLeod's flawless vocal pitch does not match up well with their grinding rock and roll music. It is much more suited to the melodic piano tunes here than to more boisterous guitar- and drums-based numbers. Even so, the CD still wears out its welcome after three or four tracks. The similarities between the songs become monotonous to someone who thrives on variety.
Seven Nations are a solid Celtic rock band, but there is very little that brings them above the realm of "recommendable"; I can think of several others that are better examples of the genre -- and I don't know that many. To their credit, their version of "Crooked Jack" worms its way into my brain quite often these days, but I do not yearn to hear them further. In fact, my one recommendation lies solely in the band's clean-cut appearance of late: they are the Celtic rock band you can bring home to Mother.
