• RJD - You were the man, the legend

Ronnie.. I know you have been really sick for a while now so I know this is one of the horrible outcomes when you deal with a horrible disease like cancer (trust me I know, seeing first hand my mom getting chemo pushed into her body).

Still.. hearing about this hit me right in the heart. I seriously didn't know I would feel this strongly about your passing. The influence and strength you gave me through your music over the years is more apparent then I realized and far beyond (me trying to put it into) words right now. I know in time I will have nothing but great memories of your amazing music and the person you were but right now this is a very difficult to hear about (and the million of metal family members you have around the world.) You were the man, the legend!! We will all miss you but you will not be forgotten. Have a safe journey! \m/

• Lizzy Borden Has Signed with A.R.M. Entertainment

Fresh off the main stage at this year’s Rocklahoma festival, Lizzy Borden will finally bring the “Appointment with death show” to the U.S. The AWD show received rave reviews in Europe and is now about to hit the United States in all its “Blood, sweat and cheers” glory.

Starring: Lizzy Borden, Joey Scott, Marten Andersson, Dario Lorina and Chris Sanders.

The Lizzy Borden Appointment with death show produced spectacular performances on the main stages of some of Europe’s biggest festivals like, “Sweden rock” (Sweden) “Bang your head “and “Keep it true” (Germany) “Kobetasonic “ (Spain) all to rave reviews unanimously declaring Lizzy Borden the hit of the festivals!

Lizzy Borden will be performing all of the classic songs like “Me against the world” American metal” “Master of disguise” as well as the new singles “Tomorrow never comes” and “Under your skin” from the latest Lizzy Borden full length album “Appointment with death”, both songs feature dramatic videos and are in rotation on MTV2. The video “Tomorrow never comes” was nominated for video of the year on MTV2's “Headbangers Ball”.

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.

Although I am sure you are familiar with the bands 26 year history, I would be grateful if you could check out the bands myspace or website at www.myspace.com/lizzybordenband  or www.lizzyborden.com which has reviews, full details and sound bites from the bands new CD ‘Appointment with Death’ out now on Metal Blade Records.

• 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...

• Lizzy Borden/George Lynch bass player 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. For more information and pictures - CLICK HERE

LIZZY BORDEN's video for the song "Under Your Skin" will make its online debut tomorrow (Thursday, March 26) on MTV's HeadbangersBlog.com. The video will also be aired on MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" on Saturday, March 28.

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."

• 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.

• Lizzy Borden - 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.

"Abnormal" off Lizzy Borden's latest release Appointment With Death,

 

---

Just got back from Michelle Meldrum’s memorial. As I am writing this I just came back from Michelle Meldrum's memorial. It was a really nice fitting memorial but also a lot of people deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing. All I can say is never take your life for granted, keep up with your health and go have physicals with your doctorevery year. Michelle had no idea what she had coming and her death could POSSIBLY have been prevented. I am just really happy I got to see her at the VQ party a couple of weeks ago. I first meet Michelle a long time ago. I was just a young guy who had only been in Hollywood for a couple of weeks. She was on top of her world, being signed to Geffen Records and touring all over the world. Most people in that situation wouldn't take the time to even look at you but she was such a great sweat considering soul that took the time to give me advise on how to make it in the music industry and what to watch out for. We kept in touch over the years and later doing the myspace thing. When I started to play with Lizzy Borden and George Lynch she was always fast to point out it was all because of her and I basically owed my career to her, then she would always bust out laughing. I will miss that. If you never have heard her music pick up some of the Phantom Blue or Meldrum stuff. She was an extremely talented player with a bright future, she brought great passion to her music (and to life in general). Michelle you will always be in our hearts and you will be greatly missed. Have a great journey, say hello to Alex and Ty up there will you. I also want to express my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. If you can please contribute to the memorial fund that has been set up through Paypal. Your donations is going to her family and her son 3-year-old son Jake to help offset funural expenses and for his education. MichelleMeldrumFund@gmail.com (through paypal.com) See you in Sweden and Germany!

• Lizzy Borden’s Appointment with Death
  Available everywhere November 5th 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 Eric Rutan (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

(All who performed on AWD)

Lizzy (Lizzy Borden)
Joey Scott (Lizzy Borden)
Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden/George Lynch)
Ira Black (Lizzy Borden/Metal Church)
George Lynch (Dokken/Lynch mob)
Dave Meniketti (Y & T)
Corey Beaulieu (Trivium)
Jonas Hansson (Silver Mountain)
Eric Rutan (Morbid Angel)
Michael T. Ross (Angel/Hardline)

Marliese Quance

(….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.  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 October 30th in the U.S. and November 2nd in Europe on Metalblade Records.

• Lizzy Borden album cover Photo shoot
  
  Lizzy Borden has shot the cover of the as yet un-named new recording due out the end of summer.
  
  Lizzy is working with special effects wizard and make-up artist Ralis Kahn (www.ralisfx.com) Although no details have been revealed, Ralis has designed the set and the look of the band based on the characters in the storyline of the new recording.
  
  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! And all captured on film.
  
  “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 do this one up right!” commented Lizzy
  
  Fifteen hours worth of video footage was also filmed during the two day shoot.

Stay tuned for the ‘Making of’ as well as the cover to be posted soon.

"Touring in all territories has been our goal for a long, long time and now with Coallier Entertainment booking us, we can play in places that we never have before and bring the LIZZY BORDEN show worldwide.
  
  As previously reported, LIZZY BORDEN is working on a new record and is looking to recreate the LIZZY BORDEN logo to fit with the new concept.
  
  The logo shape has not changed very much over the years, but the inside of the logo has gone from red with blades ("Give 'em the Axe") to a hypnotizing green ("Visual Lies") to the American flag with exposed bones ("The Murderess Metal Roadshow") and then finally on a contract signed by the horned one himself ("Deal with the Devil").
  
  Commented Lizzy: "With every record we try and make the logo fit the concept. The concept for the new record is very dark and ominous and we need the logo to reflect that.
  
  "We've seen some amazing artwork on MySpace and other places on the net and would love to find that artist who understands LIZZY BORDEN and be the one to pen the logo for the forthcoming LIZZY BORDEN record."
  
  Interested parties are encouraged to read more and submit their ideas at: LizzyBorden.com.
  
  LIZZY BORDEN earlier in the year announced the addition of guitarist Ira Black (METAL CHURCH, VICIOUS RUMORS) to the group's ranks.
