Lizzy Borden will support power metal veterans Demons & Wizards on a North American tour this summer. Support will be provided by folk metal labelmates Týr.
A thick, layered, ambitious record. Blackie and Borden alone own this decadent space between power and hair metal and strip mall junk while California burns.
A celebrated ’85 presentation, but you gotta laugh at Lizzy’s get-ups. Getting past that, the band is spot-on, much more progressive than their reputation.
“There Will Be Blood Tonight,” and the Manson-ish industrial plod of “We Only Come Out at Night” transcend the cheese. Well, they taste of a different cheese.
