A lizzy borden promo video for the Rocklahoma festival
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...

Bass Player Marten Andersson Unveils new 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.

Rock Gone Wild
will feature more than 50 bands on two stages over four days of hard rock and
heavy metal. The festival promises four decades of rock n' roll debauchery at
its finest!
Rock Gone Wild will take place at the Freedom Park festival grounds,
located at 2507- 160th Avenue in Algona, Iowa. While Algona is a rural community,
the area is close to many hotels and both the Des Moines and Minneapolis airports
are easily accessible.
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 - 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.

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."

(..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.
Appointment with death is out in the U.S.
and Europe on Metalblade records.

Thanks for the add guys!! It's so great to know that you're still together after all these years. One of my fondest memories from my teen years was listening to my buddy's copy of The Murderess Metal Road Show album! My favorite tunes were Give 'Em The Axe, Wake Up(Time To Die), and the blistering cover of Live And Let Die, which in my opinion is so much cooler than G-N-R's version, which came along waaaayyy later. Gotta get a copy of TMMRS DVD soon! Soon as I get some cyber cash together, that is. Rock on gents, Zach
You guys are so awesome! Please come to Denver Colorado or somewhere close to it soon! I've never seen you guys live and really want to! All the best, never stop rockin \m/
