Rockeyez.com has issued an interview with HOUSE OF LORDS guitarist Jimi Bell. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Brian Rademacher:

Q: What what’s been going on since the last tour?

A: "Since we got back from the tour, we took a slight break, although I was still writing some new tunes. I have the guitar in my hands all the time. I am a practiceoholic. I have the guitar in my hands all the way up to show time. When everyone is out sightseeing like normal people, I’m either in the hotel or on a bus with the guitar in my hands.

Basically, we started working on some of the material for the new album on the last tour. The last record did so well we couldn’t be any happier with the success that it had. We won back a lot of the House Of Lords fans that weren’t pleased with the Power Of Myth record; they like traditional HOL music. We got it back and the reviews were great; the shows were getting bigger and bigger. So when we started writing for this record the first song we submitted was 'I Don’t Want To Wait All Night'. It got accepted right away, and then I thought we were on a roll.

The next two we submitted got turned down and I started flipping out. I thought the songs were good, but the record company was looking for a particular something. For HOL [Serafino Perugino] likes the big heavy guitar riffs into a very melodic chorus and so do we. That ended up working out the best for us and for the record. We did the same writing format for this record as we did for the last record. I come up with the foundation of the song, a good riff, a good bridge and I go to B. J Zampa., our drummer, and bounce it off him. Then we send it to James and he will send it back what he likes, it’s a process like that. Then to the word writers, James ,Jeff and whoever else we use for lyrics, and boom: it’s done. It’s a very cool collective unit we have. It started to really flow towards the end .We have some great things done for the next record already."
