Angeles, California, September 19, 2007– MARTEN ANDERSSON bassist for Lizzy Borden/George Lynch (ex
Legacy, Starwood) is honored to announce his involvement with
Toontrack of Sweden. “Toontrack has created an elite yet affordable

you'll need to produce pro sounding drum and percussion tracks! I can't

co-promotional activities promoting this partnership."
“We are equally excited to be working with Marten”, says Toontrack Head
of marketing Andreas Sundgren. “He is a talented musician who has shown
his versatility not only through his different styles of music,
but through authoring of music books and acting roles. It’s a win-win
situation and a perfect match.”

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 journeytothe final
destinationdamned 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

(….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 ofDeath 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 DeathTour 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.

The title track
‘Appointment with Death’ is now available for

decades and helped launch the careers of Great White, Ratt, Guns 'n Roses, Tom

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.

Borden anthem "American Metal" is being listened to before

LIZZY BORDEN has
signed with Coallier Entertainment Ltd. (W.A.S.P.,
TWISTED SISTER). "We are all very excited to be with Coallier
Entertainment," the band said in a statement. "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."For booking information, contact
www.coallierentertainment.com.
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.
