'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.
Lizzy
Borden is featured in a new book, Full Metal Jackie Certified: The 50
Most Influential Heavy Metal Songs of the '80s and the True Stories
behind Their Lyrics.
In a new interview conducted exclusively
for the book, Lizzy details the creative process that resulted in
"Generation Aliens," in a full chapter about the song that also
examines its social and cultural significance, both in 1986 and today.
The chapter also features eye-catching period photos of Lizzy, shot by
acclaimed photographer Mark Weiss.
The book has been receiving a 4-star,
must-read rating in the March/April 2010 issue of Revolver magazine.
Full Metal Jackie Certified: The 50 Most Influential Heavy Metal Songs
of the '80s and the True Stories behind Their Lyrics is in-stock or

Lizzy Borden has been on the road steadily since the release of Appointment With Death - both in the US with Lordi and in Europe playing various festivals. Three shows for 2010 have been announced so far and plans for even more are in the works and will be announced when details are finalized.
Lizzy Borden himself issues the following update: “We thought we’d start 2010 out with a bang and come out of the gate with some live shows.
These first of the New Year shows will be a best of, incorporating songs from the entire Lizzy Borden catalog including the latest record Appointment With Death. These will be the first headlining shows on the west coast that we’ve done in a long while so we are all hyped and excited and can’t wait. We hope to see everyone come out for these very rare and long awaited Lizzy Borden headline shows. And yes, there will be blood!”

"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

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”
Lizzy Borden posted a new picture of the new line-up for
2009

Dario Lorina
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 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...

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.

Lizzy Borden Bass player unveils custom 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.
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."

(Daum) passed
away Saturday morning
My Brother and former guitarist Corey
James (Daum) passed away Saturday morning in Nashville Tennessee
from an auto accident.
Corey was a Lizzy Borden guitarist
from 1989 to 1995; he appeared in 2 Lizzy Borden video’s ‘We got
the power’ and ‘Love is a crime’ as well as on the Master of
Disguise tour;
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

SOLD OUT!
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: "Bang your head" video postcard available
Lizzy Borden has
posted a video postcard of the bands performance at this year’s

well as candid moments backstage.
LIZZY BORDEN to
headline Germany’s KEEP IT TRUE Festival
LIZZY BORDEN have been confirmed as the
first-day headliner of the two-day Keep It True XII festival, set to
take place April 24-25, 2009 at Tauberfrankenhalle in
Lauda-Königshofen, Germany.
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.

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 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

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.
View the cover at this location
www.Lizzyborden.comFamed ‘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

helm. Ralis is working with the band
designing an extraordinary over the top stage show
created especially for the AWD tour.
