House Of Lords - 'State Of Emergency' (visualizer video)

Under shadows of the night
There's a wave of addiction
And the homeless wandering
Underneath the stars

Under the shadows of the night
There's a wave of addiction
Moonlight, homeless wander the streets
Underneath the stars

Tent cities by a wood fire
Every dream have slipped away
Fires burnin, out of control
From the ashes of a broken soul
Every night, they fear the shadow man comin oh

Cause when the night falls
On the city of the angels
In the city by the bay
Life's wasting away
State of emergency
State of emergency

Walking zombies roam the streets
Lifeless eyes they're haunting
Day and night they wander the city never sleeps
People say they got another thing coming
But hold tight somthing's bout to go down down down

Cause when the night falls
On the city of the angels
In the city by the bay
Life is wasting away
State of emergency
Stae of emergency oh

People say they got another thing coming
Dont leave it for another day
But hold tight somthing's evils goin down down down
Cause when the night falls
On the city of the angels
In the city by the bay
Life is wasting away
From new york city
To the streets of philadelphia
For the lost and forgotten
Life is wasting away
State of emergency
State of emergency

Πιστοί στο ανά διετία δισκογραφικό τους ραντεβού (τουλάχιστον από το 2020 και μετά) οι House of Lords είναι έτοιμοι για το νέο τους πόνημα. Ο διάδοχος του album "Saints And Sinners" και 14ος "ολοκληρωμένος" στουντιακός δίσκος της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας (αν και στο δελτίο τύπου γίνεται λόγος για 12ο δίσκο), η οποία έκανε ντεμπούτο το μακρινό 1988 με το ομώνυμο album, φέρει τον τίτλο "Full Tilt Overdrive" και κυκλοφόρησε μόλις χθες...

Δελτίο τύπου: «House of Lords come back with their 12th studio album entitled “Full Tilt Overdrive”, another jewel in a musical crown of albums which is truly second to none in the world of classic hard rock.

Recorded and produced once again by the band’s singer and mastermind, James Christian along with keyboardist Mark Mangold, “Full Tilt Overdrive” does not change or alter the band’s winning formula but instead offers an absolutely inspired and credible album which stands shoulder to shoulder with the best albums from the band’s repertoire.

House of Lords are now formed by the legendary singer James Christian - the sole member who appeared on all the band’s albums - guitarist Jimi Bell, who has been with the band since their return with “World Upside Down”, the charismatic keyboardist and songwriter Mark Mangold (TOUCH, MICHAEL BOLTON, DRIVE,SHE SAID) along with Swedish drummer Johan Koleberg (LIONS SHARE, IGNITION, THERION).

This is the same line-up that appeared on the previous album “Saints And Sinners” however they are now definitely more gelled and came up with a more focused and extremely ambitious new album which really has no weak points.

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 “Full Tilt Overdrive” especially with songs such as the 9-minutes epic closer “Castles High” and the lead single “Bad Karma”, not forgetting “Taking the Fall” which has a nod to the band’s biggest hit “Can’t Find My Way Home” and the riveting title track.

This is an album that will be remembered as one of the strongest ever from the band. House of Lords toured relentlessly in Europe and the States in support of their releases becoming a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents. The band hopes to be able to bring the new songs on stage as soon as possible.»
