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.

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

for 5 days contestants called the station and had 15 seconds to say
whatever they wanted. The audience called in their votes after hearing
the contestants. Papa Joe won the final round (pretty much a
landslide!)
On Friday January 18, 2008 Papa Joe went on the air at 6 pm in the
presence of DJ's Pacozzi, Klonk and Zucco. For Papa Joe's 15 minutes
of fame he played 2 tunes from Lizzy Borden's newly released CD titled

Hello All, Lizzy
here, just wanted to say what a great time we had filming our new
video for “tomorrow never comes”. We had an amazing cast of
characters performing in this mini-film, along with a great crew
guiding us through our goal of over 90 shots. I think you all are
going to Love this tale of ‘the lost one’ in a twilight zone episode.
When you all buy our
new cd ‘Appointment with death’ (available October 30th)
you will get the lyrics to ‘Tomorrow never comes’ and see why
our heroine (in the video) is trying so hard to get to tomorrow, but
as the song goes, she never does. Look out for the video coming soon.
We made some great
friends on this one day ‘run and gun’ shoot and we have the pictures
to prove it. Click here to find some
pictures of us and the full cast on the set during the ‘making
of’ “Tomorrow never comes”.

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

(….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.
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
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.
