'Menace to Society' Lizzy Borden doing his part to give back

The man may not look like a candidate to shed light on teenagers who have trouble coping with peer pressure. Especially when you consider that he and his band go by the name of Lizzy Borden and have songs entitled "Give 'em the Axe" and "Me Against the World." They also have recorded albums such as Menace to Society (1986) and Appointment With Death (2008). For good measure, they are not shy about staging women as sexually suggestive props at their concerts.

Then consider that Lizzy Borden, the man, is simply a character in the name of entertainment. Take into account that Lizzy Borden, the band, have rarely been known to do the expected. Then know that bringing attention via music video to individuals, namely teenage girls, who relieve tension by introducing their skin to a razor blade isn't even the band's first commentary toward social awareness of a troubling phenomena.

From the Lizzy Borden Mail Bag!

"Hey! I am currently in the U.S. Army. I served in Afghanistan last year. I have been a long time fan and saw you guys when you played a few years ago at the Birchhill Night Club in N.J. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys because your music helped me get through my combat tour."
-John

"Really great!!! I was at Kobetasonik Festival and was a spectacular concert. Really thank you for visit us and I'd like see you in Bilbao soon!!!"
- Unaitxo

"You guys played a kick ass show at Rocklahoma! Thanks for coming to the VIP tent for the impromptu meet and greet. Very few other bands did. Love to see Lizzy Borden play a couple of shows up here in Minnesota. Keep GivingThem The AXE!"
-Basant

"Great show at Rocklahoma, best of the whole weekend. hope to see you again."
-Scott Marcinkevicius

"You ROCKED Pryor Oklahoma. It was really cool to meet you in the VIP tent.Hope to catch another show. Great Band"
-Mitch Borden

"One of the best theatrical rock bands of all time. Im sure Marylin Manson was influenced by Lizzy!"
-Director Hugo V

"I've loved this band since they first chopped onto the Metal world in the early 80s. I think I first heard them on a Metal Massacre album. I never got to see the band perform live, as they canceled their Master of Disguise date in El Paso when I was stationed in the 3rd Armored Cav there; but hope I do still get the chance to see the band someday. They've always been one of my favorites. I'm so damned glad this band, and other actually good, melodic, talented, non-cookie cutter "nu metal" (whatever the hell that is), non-corporate drone, soulless mannequin crap, Nickelback/Seether/etc., etc., ad nauseum type bands are still alive, well, and kicking ass. Never surrender, never quit. Hold the line! It IS us/U.S. against the world, after all. Hooaahh, get some, get some."
-Brave Rifles/Phlash.

"Hi Lizzy & co just thought I'd email,and say that your latest album Appointment With Death is one of the best albums I have ever heard from you guys! The video for "Under Your Skin" is incredible too! I also want to pass on my condolences to the band,and family of the great guitarist Corey Daum. I have been a Lizzy Borden fan ever since your Menace To Society album one of my favorites,and it's still good to see you guys rockin on! Hopefully sometime I'll get to see one of your live shows sounds like a wicked good time! Until then make them all Scream & cry Bloody Tears!"
-Rick

"Hi from Germany! Thank you for the great show at the KEEP IT TRUE FESTIVAL! And thanks too for this excellent setlist. First time to see a full headliner show of LIZZY BORDEN. Awesome! Hope you´ll come back a.s.a.p. to Germany. Hey Marten, thanks for the pic."
Greetings,
-Kuno "Bockwurst" Bognár

"Hi guys, It was great to meet you guys in Kerkrade. I really enjoyed the show. Got my voice back again so next time i'll even be able to talk! haha xxx"
-Debs

"Hi there guys, your music is awesome and your last album is one of your best and one of the best of the last years!Really like the 'Under Your Skin' video.Lizzy you 're a great influence to me, hope you 'll come up with another killer album!"

Lizzy Borden rocks the Kobetasonik Festival in Spain with last minute performance!

Lizzy Borden received a call last week to see if they would be able to play a festival in Spain with Motley Crue, Anthrax, Buckcherry and more! The band somehow made it happen! Read Lizzy Borden’s post festival report below.

“Wednesday morning I got a call asking if we wanted to play the Kobetasonik festival in Bilbao Spain On Saturday. I wasn’t sure that we could do the show because my passport just expired the day before. I spent the whole day at the federal building on Thursday not knowing if they would renew my passport or not, they just kept saying we will do our best. I finally got it in my hands at 5:00 that night; we flew out for Spain the next morning. We arrived at the festival at around 4:00 in the afternoon on Saturday scheduled to play at 8:15 that night, only one problem, the airline lost all of our luggage. We finally tracked it down and they said they were flying it in and it would all be there in time for the show. While we franticly waited for our luggage we watched Buckcherry, Papa Roach, and Anthrax - all really great shows!

With only minutes to spare our gear finally arrived. A quick line check, smear on some stage make-up and without any rehearsal at all hit the stage and belted out 65 minutes of American metal the Lizzy Borden way. We all had a great time on stage, the audience in Bilbao Spain was screaming loud all the way through and in the end turned out to be a great surprise show for us and them. We met a lot of new friends backstage and with all of the bands being in the same building it turned out to be a really cool party. And at some point I think we dove into the Jagermeister (maybe a little too much) and wandered out in the audience to watch Motley cure. After a few minutes we got recognized and had a BIG party in the crowd with a lot of our new friends from Bilbao.

I want to thank everyone at the festival for treating us so well…we can’t wait to come back, hopefully next time more than 2 days notice. Live forever, Lizzy Borden”

The picture was shot backstage at the whisky a go-go right before their performance at the MICHELLE MELDRUM & FAMILY benefit concert on May 26th.


Lizzy Borden has selected Dario Lorina as new guitarist

      "Dario Lorina is a 19-year-old guitarist who has been making waves in the music industry. At age 16, he was recognized for his passion and what some may call exceptional talent, and began touring with multi-platinum songwriter and Warrant front man, Jani Lane. During that time Dario strongly created a reputation and name for himself as a player and gained the respect of many, thus giving him the opportunity to play with various notable artists. Dario has been touring consistently throughout the USA and Europe since 2006."

“Dario has played 3 shows with us so far, Germany, Holland and Hollywood ca and was magnificent at them all. He fits in so perfectly with us; I just know all the Lizzy Borden fans around the world are going to be blown away when they see him play”
Lizzy Borden

Lizzy Borden is confirmed for this years Rocklahoma festival

 “We are all extremely excited to bring the Lizzy Borden show to ROCKLAHOMA this year. After playing “bang your head” in Germany and the “Sweden rocks” festival last year to amazing reviews, as well as Co/headlining the “Keep it true” festival this year, it will be an honor to finally bring the blood to an American festival. I have a few surprises up my sleeves and we plan on playing some songs we have never played on stage before. We have heard so much about this festival from some of our friends the last couple of years and we can’t wait to bring our brand of American metal to the ROCKLAHOMA Stage.”  Lizzy Borden

In a career spanning 26 years, Lizzy Borden was created in 1983 in Hollywood California. Spitting venom, stage blood and dripping grease paint while breathing life into bizarre characters bred precisely for the stage. Theme oriented creations such as, Love you to pieces (1985) Menace to society (1986) Visual Lies (1987) Master of Disguise (1989) Best Of (1994) Deal with the Devil (2000) and Appointment with death (2008) forever cemented icon status to the master showman from the dawn of heavy metal.

With the release of Lizzy Borden’s latest disk “Appointment with death” Lizzy and the boys tore through 2008 for that badge of honor all the while stealing the show at some of Europe’s greatest summer festivals. The new Appointment with death show received nothing less then rave reviews from Major European press like “The best show of the entire festival”, “A 9 out of 10”, “Lizzy Borden was the hit of the festival”

The end of summer ‘08 brought the show back home rampaging right through North America, destroying every House of blues in its path all the way through the states.

Showing no signs of letting up Lizzy Borden finished ‘08 performing in 9 countries on a winter tour of Europe. While the show stormed its way through Europe, the first video from “AWD”Tomorrow never comes”, was nominated for video of the year on MTV's “Headbangers Ball”, a great way to finish the year.

2009 opened with the creation of a new Lizzy Borden video "Under Your Skin". “Skin” premiered on MTV2 Saturday March 29th ‘09 with a controversial topic (about teenage girls cutting themselves); the heavy duty subject was just the thing to start the year off on an artistic note.

Most bands that have been around as long as Lizzy Borden, the days of a new video on MTV are long gone, however Lizzy Borden have 2 videos from the latest CD, "Tomorrow Never Comes" and “Under Your Skin” in rotation on MTV’s Headbangers ball, Music Choice as well as radio stations around the country.

April ‘09 brought Lizzy back to Germany to headline the first night of the “Keep it True” festival. The show was second to none showcasing a 26 year career catalog of songs as well as the twin guitar assault of Dario Lorina and Chris Sanders, the 8 string bass menace Marten Andersson and the frantic Mohawk drummer Joey Scott. The show centers on Lizzy in his multitude of masks and props screaming bloody murder as he’s pushed and pulled by (the Lizzy Girls Julia and steph) the angel and devil on his shoulders. The show ends in blood, smoke and fire just like a great rock show should.

The entourage was still hungry for more and made a quick stop in Holland to perform the show one more time before returning home.

The summer of ’09 is about to become the next chapter in the Lizzy Borden saga with appearances at this years “Rocklahoma” and “Rock gone wild” festivals. To be continued...

Keep It True Update - From Lizzy

It was a great honor to be a part of this years Keep it true festival in Germany. We headlined the first night of the festival and set it off with a bang in one of the longest shows we have ever played. We performed songs from each Lizzy Borden record from Give ‘em the axe all the way up through our latest Appointment with death. And For the first time since 92’ we went back to our classic Lizzy Borden format of two guitarists battling solos the entire why through the show. Dario Lorina and Chris Sanders opened the show with twin guitar harmonies and never looked back. Marten Andersson brought his 8 string Bass and shattered some windows and loosened more then a few fillings. Joey Scott ended the show with a smokin’ hot drum solo including a fire dance from our very own Stef. Even though the show was larger then life and fun as hell, the Lizzy Borden songs stole the show this night; this festival brings in people from all over Europe showing their support for metal music. Watching everyone singing song by song as we weaved our way through our catalog of music, from the past to the present and back again was a truly an amazing thing to witness. All in all it was a great time for us and the Keep it true fans. A video postcard of the event will be on our MySpace page very soon. Live forever! Lizzy Borden.

Here was the set list.

Lizzy Borden Bass player Marten Andersson unveils ESP 8 string bass

Bass Player Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden, George Lynch, Starwood), a long time player and endorsee of ESP, has unveiled photo's of his new 8 string ESP Bass. "I have played ESP's for most of my life," explained Marten Andersson. "Working together with ESP, and based on my ideas and specs we have created a prototype of my first custom bass. This is a true, unique 8 string bass that has been refined in my head for a couple of years. I chose top components and the highest standards and craftsmanship that ESP offers. This bass stays in tune throughout a full headlining set and it is one of the loudest, most powerful basses I have ever heard."

Only available factory direct through ESP (at the moment) as a built to order. This bass was designed on Andersson's original specifications and comes with top of the line pickups and hardware, but can be outfitted with either EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups, Schaller or Dunlop Straplocks, and Black or Chrome hardware. Featuring a standard 8 string ESP B Series neck (with different headstock), 34" scale with 24 frets. The model incorporates a metallic red sparkle finish with star inlays as fret markers. Fretboard/inlay: rosewood/stars and Gotoh Tuners.

The new signature bass can be seen in the Lizzy Borden video ''Under Your Skin" which premiered on MTV's Headbangers Ball last weekend. The track comes off Lizzy Borden's CD "Appointment With Death" out world-wide on Metal Blade Records.

'Under Your Skin' Video Posted

Commented LIZZY BORDEN vocalist/namesake: "After our last video, 'Tomorrow Never Comes', was nominated for video of the year on MTV's 'Headbangers Ball', we thought we had to step up the visuals big time on our next one.

"For the 'Under Your Skin' video, we knew we wanted a storyline that mirrored the lyrics to the song. I wrote 'Skin' about the teenage phenomenon that is happening to one out of every two hundred teenage (mostly girls). That phenomenon is called cutting.

"The video for 'Under Your Skin' follows the lives of three very different girls, a rich girl neglected by her parents, a cheerleader with a 'nothing's-ever-good-enough' mother and a poor girl with an alcoholic father. The girls all have complete opposite backgrounds but share the same big secret — they all cut themselves.

"In the video, Death (played by me) stalks the girls just waiting for the one who, on this occasion, will cut a little too deep.

"We recruited first-time director Ann Potenza for the job; she understood this song completely and wrote a great treatment that we all loved right away. She then recruited director of photography, Gigi Malavasi, to complete the team. Joey Scott (drummer of LIZZY BORDEN) and Ann scouted locations and hired our cast (the rich girl in the video is my niece, Christina Farr).

"We wanted something that would showcase the song and the band, but with this video we got a whole lot more.

"My goal has always been to entertain, but if we can bring awareness to something like this, all the better.

"I was at a party recently talking to some girl and telling her that our new video was about cutting. She showed me the scars on her arm; that's how common this is.

"Hope you like the video, and if you are or know someone that cuts themselves, check out the PSA at the end of the video; there is information that may help."

      We were looking for a second guitarist to play along side Alex Nelson and We had a cattle call of guitarist come down to audition. As soon as Corey walked in the room I had high hopes for him. He was a tall, bone skinny kid with long blonde hair and a giant Colgate smile. He started playing and singing away with no fear and gave it all he had, I liked him immediately and so did everyone else. After he was done I told him that we would get back to him after we finished the day, but in my mind I already knew that he was the guy. I called him later that night and asked him if he wanted to see the world and live in a tour bus for a couple of years, he was ecstatic and I could tell even over the phone that that smile would not leave his face while he slept that night…

Corey was an innocent young kid who came to Hollywood to fulfill his dreams of becoming a world famous rock guitarist. He found himself in an apartment complex on Yucca Street in a seedy part of Hollywood. The complex was filled with musicians from every other state and it was kind of the first place you had to live if you had the guts enough to come to Hollywood to pursue your dreams, a far cry from the small town in Pennsylvania that he came from. Inside of a week he knew everyone in this giant apartment complex and introduced everyone to everyone else. Corey was a guy that could get people together; everybody wanted to be where he was. He made a seedy apartment in Hollywood the place to be for all young soon to be rock stars and the girls that wanted to be with them. I even risked parking my jag on that famous street just to come to one of his ‘”we’re in this thing together parties”, that’s the power of persuasion that Corey had.

We toured quite a lot over the few years we were playing together, we saw a good part of the world and had the time of our lives night after night, to say he was a big part of that would be the ultimate understatement. Corey was the clue that held us all together and the one that we would send in to be the ambassador to break the ice when we were with strangers, and he always did.

Corey moved to Nashville after the touring ended and we all lost touch for a few years. But when we were looking for a new guitarist for our latest tour I tracked him down and tried to get him to come back on the road with us, but he had a new family and it just would have been too much to make it all workout. I said my goodbyes to him and that we would see him when the tour came through Nashville, That was the last time I spoke to him because the tour never came through Nashville. but I I’m grateful that I at least had those last phone conversations with Corey; he was the nicest guy you could ever meet and the best friend you could want. You were privileged if you had the chance to know him. He was a great talent, an extraordinary guitarist and an amazing singer and performer.

After losing Alex nelson in 04’ to an auto accident this is again extremely hard to take and we are all crushed by this news as I know his family and everyone that ever met him is right now. We send out our sincere condolences to his family and we will never forget Corey James, he will always be one of us forever… Lizzy Borden

=======================================

Services for Corey James (Daum) are currently scheduled for Friday (01-30-09). Feel free to contact website below with any questions or condolences to the family.

Lizzy Borden’s 2008 year end review

As we are plotting and planning Lizzy Borden’s 2009 assault on the world, I can’t help but reflect about what 2008 has brought to us and what we gave to it with our blood, sweat and tears…okay so we didn’t cry, but there were times when we wanted to.

Our latest recording ‘Appointment with Death’ came out on October 30th 2007 so I more or less consider it a 2008 release. Our video for ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ was up for best video of the year on MTV 2 headbangers ball, and radio is playing more new and older Lizzy Borden then they have in a long while. By the looks of things I’d say we are back with a vengeance!

 

The tour of the U.S. took us from L.A. to New York and back again in every different direction you can imagine.  A simple tour… yet we logged more then 11,000 miles! If that didn’t kill us nothing will.

 

Touring with a bunch of monsters was really great! And I’m not talking about my band; I’m talking about the Finnish band Lordi. Under those masks are a group of really cool people and it was a pleasure being on the road with them and their crew, I’m sure we will do it again at some point down the road, it was too good of a match up not to. I think we gained some new younger fans and shored up the respect from our older fans and that’s more then you can expect from a one night stand.

 

The routing on the Europe side was none to kind to us as well. With only a couple of days off from the U.S. tour, we boarded a plane for Europe to conquer countries we have never played before.

 

Exhaustion not withstanding we brought the Lizzy Borden show ready to bleed all over eight of our favorite new countries and bleed we did, real and fake. we are a danger to ourselves onstage and we have the scars to prove it, but it’s the only way we know how to do it, death before dishonor.

 

I made it though the U.S. side of the tour and about half of the Europe side without getting sick, but then! When one person gets sick, we all get sick; we’re like a traveling Bubonic plague. But this is the job; there is no calling in sick, (even for the singer) although I’m seriously thinking about that Michael Jackson mask on the next tour.

 

The European fans are different in only one way; they come to the show with such a positive attitude (singing before the show) that they already know the show is going to be good before we even start the intro tape. That’s very strange for a band like us who always fights for every drop of reaction. I kept telling them to scream but they couldn’t hear me because they already were.

 

All in all, the Lizzy Borden machine traveled over 30,000 miles in planes, trains, automobiles and boats as well as our own feet, (running through airports trying to catch connecting flights).

 

We want to thank all the Lizzy Borden Fans on both the U.S. side and the Europe side for coming out and supporting us with your loud voices. Most bands that have been around for a while do not get the kind of reception for new material that you gave to us; we thank you for that as well.

 

Lizzy Borden in 2009

 

The first thing on the agenda is releasing our new video for the song “Under Your Skin” (which incidentally was one of the best received songs in the set for this tour). The video is a powerful piece about an unbelievable phenomenon that is happening all over the world and almost no one is noticing, except for me of course, more about that later.

 

After a very short holiday break I am back to work writing new songs. I want the live feel from the tour to seep into the new songs so I’m writing like crazy before it wears off.

 

It looks like we are heading back to Germany in April for the "Keep it True Festival" and possibly another mini tour of Europe, keep checking our site www.lizzyborden.com for new tour dates.

 

Also keep a look out on our site for our re-launch of all of the old T-shirt designs from the past from the love you to pieces/menace to society/visual lies/master of disguise era- coming soon.

 

They’ll be some major announcements regarding shows in the U.S. and other really interesting developments for Lizzy Borden upcoming in the days and weeks ahead.

 

2009 promises to be a very active year for us with new music, new videos, and yes more shows all around the world. We hope to see you all this year,

 

Live forever,
 


Band: Lizzy Borden with Lordi and Stolen Babies
Venue: House Of Blues
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Date: 11.12.08

HALLOWEEN IS FAR FROM OVER IN SIN CITY! Courtesy of this triple bill...which could be have been titled The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Monstrous Metal Musicians. Officially, the rock & roll trolls from Finland called LORDI were the headliners, but NO. You don't include LIZZY BORDEN in your concert and then expect to ‘headline'. Still, let's do this by the numbers.

STONED BABIES were an offbeat opener, perfect for the occasion; a female-fronted quintet which might be considered a Gothic NIGHTWISH or an Industrial FLYLEAF or a tribute to HORRORPOPS. With those elements, their ongoing success is practically guaranteed. Okay, so their vampish singer has an accordion and the guitarist is wearing a skirt...we all got over it. Their sound was heavy enough to wake up the rather thin crowd (200 or so), especially the song "Once I Wash My Hands Of You". They've got the currently popular ‘sing one verse/shriek the next verse' down to an exact science, so STONED BABIES will probably be your daughter's next favorite band any day now.

When the curtains closed on STONED BABIES, the sound check for LIZZY BORDEN began, which probably killed every dog in a three-block radius. Even after seeing Manowar, Metallica, Motorhead, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Raven & Triumph, my veteran eardrums buzzed with warning: These guys were going to be LOUD!

And LOUD they were, as LIZZY BORDEN stormed onstage. Guitarists Ira Black and Chris Sanders, Bassist Marten Andersen and Drummer Joey Scott cranked out a tidal wave of sonic punishment with their opener "Abnormal" from the new Appointment With Death CD. ‘Abnormal' aptly described the band as well, as they were all dressed in spectral attire and deathly makeup. LIZZY appeared in the guise of the Grim Reaper, complete with a black cloak and faceless mask...but that was the first of many disguises. Their next song, the cult hit "Notorious" had Lizzy in a Frankenstein mask and menacing the crowd with a bat. The crowd chants "HAIL, CAESAR!" Along with the band, but the crowd's response is apparently never loud enough for Lizzy. He commands equally loud screams for the next song "Live Forever". Therein lies the sole problem: the band's so loud that neither they, nor the crowd, can hear themselves scream. To their credit, the crowd tries, but there's only so many of them.

Lizzy dons a gruesome devil mask for "Rod Of Iron", and switches out the bat for a high-powered flashlight that sweeps among the audience to illuminate the most motivated headbangers. A cool effect, one that most other bands should use...but they don't, and this is what elevates Lizzy Borden over other metal bands: special effects. Lizzy Borden is often criticized of jumping on the ‘shock-rock' bandwagon like KISS, Alice Cooper and WASP...but the accusation in itself shines an unflattering light on the t-shirt and jeans bands: why don't YOU wear costumes, or masks, or props, or shine a light on your crowd, or do something SPECIAL? Lizzy Borden does, and they're charging the same price for a ticket as you do. In fact, he's already got his next mask ready on the back of his head.

It'd be a different story if Borden's theatrics were be-all, end-all, but this is a band with more chops than a butcher shop...These guys are virtuosos. After "Rod Of Iron", Marten Andersson plays a scorching bass solo which puts him in up in the leagues of Joey DeMaio or Billy Sheehan. Although the bass almost overpowers the guitars in many songs, Ira Black shreds out a magnificent solo of his own after "There Will Be Blood Tonight". There certainly will be; Lizzy has blood pouring out of his mouth as he's licking the blade of an axe! It doesn't seem to hurt his voice any...and Lizzy's got one of the most unique voices in metal; a sustained wail that soars over all the instruments like a bird of prey.

Lizzy unmasks and comes out wearing a flag for "American Metal", another crowd favorite. He begins "Me Against The World" by singing from inside a rigged television set, stretching his face against the 'screen' like Videodrome, then bursting out of it. With every effect caught on tape by the House of Blues videographer, this show would make an awesome DVD, even if it is only a 45-minute set. Just to show the band's not all about terror and death, they close the show with the uplifting rocker "We Got The Power"...and they bloody well do!

The band heads out to the merchandising area for a meet & greet with their fans, and then LORDI takes the stage. This Finnish quintet has taken GWAR's playbook and ran with it; every performer is monstrously masked and armored...Mr. Lordi, the lead singer, has severed heads topping his boots! While visually impressive and decently loud, LORDI aren't as metal as they are more generically hard rock. Songs like "Who's Your Daddy?" and "Man Skin Boots" are even more entertaining when Ogres are singing them. He then announces "Las Vegas! We have a WINNER! Kita won twenty-five bucks at a casino!" Their spike-covered drummer takes a gracious bow. The band gives props to various horror movies with the song "The Doctor Is In", and the singer menaces the crowd with a giant chainsaw that spews fake blood. While they stomp into the song "Let's Call It A Night", I take them at their word and split. LORDI are good, but almost any band-or entertainer of any sort-pales in comparison to LIZZY BORDEN.

Bang Your Head Review by Metal Temple

LIZZY BORDEN / JUDAS PRIEST / SAXON / YNGWIE MALMSTEEN / GRAVE DIGGER / OBITUARY / TANKARD / ONSLAUGHT / BREAKER / SECRECY / AGE OF EVIL

Report by Erika on 2008/07/15

No one can say that LIZZY BORDEN is lazy when it comes to put on a good show. There were reaper-cloaks, masks, various weapons and a hell lot of energy. If a theatrical show is not your cup of tea there’s also a great Metal Band behind it all, so, if that’s the case just look past the show and outfits and listen to the music. But I just don’t get how many great bands that’s been out there over the years (and still are) that never gotten any recognition at all. LIZZY BORDEN is absolutely one of them that deserves more than they’ve got during the years. Both "Menace To Society" and "Deal With The Devil" are great albums and the latest one "Appointment With Death" is absolutely really classy metal too!

LIZZY BORDEN started off in a furious speed and never ever slowed down, there were so many things to watch on stage all the time so it really took effort to pay attention to both that and the music. Lizzy was changing outfits and toys for every song and I suppose/hope that the rest of the band members have really good health insurances. Because the axe looked so real and the way Lizzy was swinging it, just inches away from his musicians... At least I would have been nervous being up on that stage. Bass player Marten Andersson showed off with a bass-solo containing the famous melody from Pippi Longstockings and reminded everyone of his Swedish roots. He and guitar player Chris Sanders are almost spitting images of each other so it’s good they have different instruments, else it would have been really hard to tell them apart.

After a little break this sexy girl took on the stage, danced away stripper stylish. That’s nothing you get away with if LIZZY BORDEN is around, after a small attack and some showing of adult oriented body parts the blood started dripping from her neck. "There Will Be Blood Tonight" and the crowd absolutely loved it. "You want blood too?" Lizzy jumped off the stage and started smearing blood on the front lines. A party-trick that worked excellent! Lead Guitarist Ira Black ended the set with a mean guitar solo, throwing the guitar across the stage and attacking it like a predator and squeezed the last notes out of it. (No worries, I know that guitar has survived this kind of treatment before). Afterwards, with all the bloodstains made people look like they had been going face down on some running track though since the blood had more that brick-red color rather than blood-red. Not that it mattered, the effect it had on the show was perfect but it looked a little ridiculous afterwards. Everything I’ve seen this day has been great and this party-rock gave me new energy and not even the burning sun could drag me away from stage.


       
     Lizzy Borden - Sweden Rock review
9p (of 10)

The people who don’t see the cool in Make up, Axe blades with fake blood and a singer that goes through Halloween masks like festival beers, will not like Lizzy Borden. If you like all this, combined with awesome ‘Wasp’ meets ‘Queensryche’ metal and the same (emanate) singer that is a lion tamer with the audience - yes, you might just say, like me, agree that Lizzy Borden is the highlight of the entire SRF. Certain die hard fans might have missed certain classics, but the new “Appointment with Death” - songs lifts to high heavens live, and I got to hear “Me Against the World” do not complain.

     Bang your head" review in Metal Hammer

Shock-rocker Lizzy Borden knows how to entertain the audience: The five americans put on party-hits like 'Tomorrow Never Comes', 'There Will Be Blood Tonight', 'Me Against The World' or 'We Got The Power' and staged a spectacular show that somehow reminds of Kiss. Masquerade in great profusion, Dancers (that pretend to give lead singer Lizzy a blow-job, getting their top ripped off and being bloody massacred) and a fake blood orgy in the first row - party! No wonder one disapproved with the Band being on stage early afternoon.

Lizzy Borden performs two shows in one day at the bang your head festival



In the history of the bang your head festival no band has ever played two shows in one day until now.
Lizzy Borden performed this past Saturday (June 28) in Balingen, Germany with a blood soaked theatrical production on a perfect sunny day in front of 15 thousand.

As the band left the stage drained and bloodstained, they we’re greeted by BYH promoter Horst who congratulated them on the amazing response. He also told them that one of the bands had cancelled their show for later that day to which Lizzy replied “will take the slot!” horst called him a “madman” and said “you got it!”

Commented the band's frontman/namesake: We had two hours to put a new set together. We rehearsed some songs in our trailer that we heard the crowd yelling out at the last show, even though we had never played them before with this lineup. The 2nd show was fast and loose and fun as hell and the crowd was even louder then the 1st show and sang with me all the way through. It was the tenth BYH festival anniversary for Lizzy Borden and one we will never forget.

Set list for the 1st show

Appointment with death
Abnormal
Notorious
Rod of iron
Tomorrow never comes
Red rum
We only come out at night (intro)
There will be blood tonight
Me against the world
We got the power

Set list for the 2nd show

Perfect world
Be one of us
Give ‘em the axe
Psychopath
American metal
Born to be wild
Long live rock and roll


Lizzy Borden set to play the “Bang your head” festival this Saturday

Commented the band's front man/namesake: It’s been 9 years since we played the “Bang your head” festival in Germany. We’ve got a special set planned for the festival encompassing songs from each Lizzy Borden release, as well as a few songs that we have not had in the set for years. It’s going to be a special show for us to come back to Germany with our brand of American Metal, and yes, oh yes, there will be blood! Lizzy

Bravewords.com is exclusively hosting the video for the track "Abnormal" off Lizzy Borden's latest release Appointment With Death, which was released October 30, 2007 via Metal Blade Records. Go to www.Bravewords.com  to check it out!

Borden told BW&BK recently that he calls the album "traditional Lizzy. As always, there is a theme and this one is death. The artwork (courtesy of Ralis Khan) on the front sleeve depicts me as an Angel of Death character. The term 'death' refers to the end of something, so that allowed us to work with a broad brush."

Musically the album seems heavier, especially in the guitar area. "Our guitarist, Ira Black has brought that heavier element to the band, and in addition, the whole band pitched in on the music of AWD, bringing many different ideas. Additionally, we had a number of guests on this album from a wide variety of metal backgrounds, so their ideas come from all over the place."

Guests include George Lynch (ex-DOKKEN/LYNCH MOB), Dave Meniketti (Y&T), Corey Beaulieu (TRIVIUM), Jonas Hansson (SILVER MOUNTAIN), Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL/ex-MORBID ANGEL) and Michael T. Ross (ex-ANGEL/HARDLINE/NELSON).

Lizzy explained, "The show promises to be abnormally wicked, playing songs we have not played in some time. We have a pretty good sized back catalog, and since this is our first appearance at the Sweden Rock Festival we want to play one or two songs off of each record. We are also playing quite a few choice cuts from our latest Appointment with Death; it’s going to be a bloody good time!"

Lizzy Borden featured WCCC 106.9

Hartford, CT radio station WCCC 106.9 The Rock had a contest called "15 minutes of Fame" in which for 5 days contestants called the station and had 15 seconds to say whatever they wanted.

For Papa Joe's 15 minutes of fame he played 2 tunes from Lizzy Borden's newly released CD titled Appointment with Death. First song played was Tomorrow Never Comes.

Press release for Lizzy Borden’s Appointment with Death
Available
October 30th in the U.S. and November 2nd in Europe on MetalBlade Records

 


Abnormal
Appointment with Death
Live forever
Bloody Tears
The Death of Love
Tomorrow never comes
Under your Skin
Perfect World (I don’t wanna live)
Somthin’s crawlin
 (We are) the only ones
The Darker side
 

In a career spanning almost 25 years, Lizzy Borden was created in 1983 in Hollywood California. Spitting venom, stage blood and dripping grease paint while breathing life into bizarre characters bred precisely for the stage. Theme oriented creations such as, Love you to pieces (1985) Menace to society (1986) Visual Lies (1987) Master of Disguise (1989) Best Of (1994) and Deal with the Devil (2000) forever cemented icon status to the master showman from the dawn of heavy metal.

Now, Years in the making, Lizzy Borden pulls back the cloak to unveil his latest and most frightening creation, Appointment with Death (2007) a fatalistic journey to the final destination damned by the wings of death.

This is Lizzy Borden’s First new studio recording since Deal with the Devil (2000)

Appointment with Death was produced by L. Borden and J. Scott
It was recorded at the
Zanzibar studios in N. Hollywood CA.
And was mixed by
Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal/ex-Morbid Angel) at Mana sound in Florida

(….. about the concept and the characters on AWD)

Like all past Lizzy Borden recordings, Appointment with Death is a conceptual piece; this concept is centered around the theme of, as the title implies, Death.

“Oddly enough, writing eleven songs about death was no easy task for me; lyrically being graphic or grotesque would have been too easy, and being overly morbid would bring nothing new to the concept. I wrote this just like I have all of the other LB recordings, as a play or a movie. There is a beginning, middle and an end with the lead character taking us on a journey. Death is all around us, lurking, waiting to pounce, striking fear and antagonizing the living in many different ways, I tried to explore some of those ways in the most poetic way that I know how” commented Lizzy.

The music on AWD was composed by Lizzy, Ira Black, Marten Andersson and Joey Scott

AWD is epic, Heavy, dark and melodic, everything a traditional Lizzy Borden recording should be and more. With new guitarist Ira Black along with Marten Andersson on Bass and co/founder Joey Scott on the drums, the Lizzy Borden sound has evolved into a multi-dimensional ever-lasting-gobstopper working just as well in an ipod as it has always done on stage. 

(The Star studded cast of characters that performed on AWD)

“These musicians are more then just special guests, they all, each in their own original way helped to create this work of fiction and bring Appointment with Death to life.”  Lizzy

(….About the cover) 

For the Cover, Lizzy Borden worked with special effects wizard and make-up artist Ralis Kahn. Ralis designed the set and the look of the band based on the theme for Appointment with Death. The cover depicts Lizzy as the angel of Death in the action of collecting 3 souls who have ended their lives in 3 very different ways by their own hands. View the cover at this location www.Lizzyborden.com Famed ‘Metal’ photographer Alex Solca took well over a 1,000 shots in a two-day marathon, involving extras as well as the band (Lizzy, Joey Scott, Marten Andersson and Ira Black). At the end of the two-day shoot the set was literally set a blaze! With flames shooting 30 feet into the air!

Lizzy explains “Because a lot of music is going straight to itunes, we thought we would pay special attention to both the cover and the back cover and fill the inside of the CD booklet with tons of fun shots from this specialized photo shoot. As we all know, very soon there will no longer be an actual CD to have a cool booklet for. Everything will go straight from the studio to your ipod, so we thought we would really go all out on this one”

(….About the tour and the new show)

The new show for the Appointment with Death Tour is based around the theme of the new release; with Lizzy playing the lead character (Death). Lizzy and Co. will bring to life the characters and imagery from the album to the stage with special effects master Ralis Kahn at the helm. Ralis is working with the band designing an extraordinary over the top stage show created especially for the AWD tour. Showcasing songs from the new release as well as all the Borden fan favorites, the upcoming tour promises to be the show you don’t want to miss.

Tour Dates to be announced soon.

Make your Appointment with death for October 30th in the U.S. and November 2nd in Europe on Metalblade Records. 

The title track ‘Appointment with Death’ is now available for streaming at these locations:

Lizzy Borden (Master of Disguise review by Rock Heavy Load)

Metal Blade’s 25th birthday special edition

Recently, this website reported the 1989 classic “Master of Disguise” would be re-released in a special edition to celebrate Metal Blade’s anniversary. To each his own, of all the albums already slated to be re-released, LIZZY BORDEN’s was the one I was waiting for the most, main reason being I was too young to appreciate it back in 1989, but also because Carlos is quite persuasive in instructing me in the ways of good old heavy-metal.
