Whether solo albums or discs with his band House Of Lords, James Christian remains faithful to himself and his music! This also does not change the new Lords album "Precious Metal"! The title can lead already consciously or unconsciously something crazy, but means "only" precious metal. Now one can argue whether the AOR-heavy hard rock band can include the metal, or Christian & Co. try with this album. But the fact is that the opener "Battle" a brisk track is the almost metallic sounds and really sets the mood for more! Curiously, the title song is no fleet number, but a gentle ballad, fun idea! Otherwise, the CD offers the well-known but still not worn mixture of melody and heaviness but the leap to the metal does not create, but this is also not bad. "Precious Metal" is a typical, good HOL album that fans of the troops love including Christian Topröhre with all Trade Marks. A slice can be bought as a fan blind and fun with every bet!
