Lizzy Borden (band)
Lizzy Borden is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. To date, the band has charted on the Billboard 200 four times. Lizzy Borden is eponymous of the band's lead vocalist.
The band was founded in 1983 by brothers Lizzy Borden (born Gregory Charles Harges; June 23, 1960) and Joey Scott. The band got noticed after their song "Rod of Iron" featured on Metal Blade Records' Metal Massacre IV compilation LP. The band signed to Metal Blade in 1984 and released their debut EP Give 'Em the Axe in May of the same year. The band is named after the notorious Lizzie Borden, a woman accused and acquitted of murder in the late 19th century.
In 1985, guitarist Alex Nelson replaced original guitarist Tony Matuzak and was first featured on the band's only live album to date, The Murderess Metal Road Show.
In 1987, the band reached its commercial peak with the release of their third album Visual Lies, which saw guitarist Joe Holmes make his debut with the band. The first single from the album, "Me Against the World", was featured in the cult film Black Roses. Holmes later went on to join Ozzy Osbourne's band.
The band issued their fourth studio album Master of Disguise, via their label Metal Blade, on July 15, 1989, and it has since become a cult classic. The band frequently plays songs from this album live.
The band was featured prominently in the rockumentary The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (directed by Penelope Spheeris).
In the early 1990s, the band slowed down its activity due to the changing metal scene. The band went on a short hiatus in 1996 after the departure of their two guitarists, David Philips and Corey James. Singer Lizzy alongside bassist Michael White, guitarist Joe Steals and drummer Joey Scott went on to play in the glam band Diamond Dogs (later renamed Starwood) with bassist Marten Andersson.
In 1999, the band was once again fully active and touring with 3/5 of its classic lineup (Borden, Joey Scott & Alex Nelson) alongside longtime bassist Marten Andersson. Lizzy Borden previewed their new CD and tour, entitled Deal With the Devil, at the Wacken Open Air Festival, Germany, in front of 35,000 people followed by a worldwide tour. Longtime Lizzy Borden fan, artist and multimedia entrepreneur Todd McFarlane (best known for his creation of Spawn and stylistic revision of Spider-Man) was enlisted to capture the essence of Lizzy Borden for the stage show and the CD cover art. On May 17, 2004, guitarist Alex Nelson was killed in a head-on car collision. Lizzy Borden disbanded soon after.
