LIZZY BORDEN Is In No Rush To Release New Studio Album

Brian Rademacher of RockEyez recently conducted an interview with LIZZY BORDEN frontman and namesake. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

RockEyez: In recruiting Dario Lorina (guitar) into LIZZY BORDEN a few years back, did that make an impact?

Lizzy Borden: Absolutely! I mean, we had so many guitar players in this band and [they all] had one thing in common: [they were] hard to work with. Dario is the opposite he's such a professional and a fun guy plus he's unbelievably talented. He's got the full package and he's someone I've been waiting for since the beginning when we started this band trying to find someone of his caliber that's so professional and not crazy.

RockEyez: Now you also have AC Alexander [guitar]. How's he working out?

Lizzy Borden: He's working out great, too. He brings a whole different element to the band. He has so much energy and a positive guy, great talented guitar player. Him and Dario work well together, they call themselves The Italian Stallions because they're both Italians. This lineup is the best lineup we've ever had, bar none. The combination is finally right as far as personalities go. The show is so much better than anything we've ever done because of the personalities and everyone brings something unique to their part of the show that works in conjunction with the whole band.

RockEyez: "Appointment With Death" came out in 2007 when are we going to see some new material?

Lizzy Borden: I started working on new material a long time ago. I'm not that anxious to run out and do another record. The record I have in mind is so unique it's even hard to picture. The way I look at "Appointment With Death" is we came full circle we all had the same influences on all the records. Now it's time to create something new so that's where my head is at right now. The album I want to do is ten amazing songs. I don't know exactly where it's going to go; it could be the heaviest record we've ever done. You know, you write ten songs and end up loving one. I hope to get something out soon but we have the tour right now, but we are working hard on songs right now. It's coming out really interesting but I'm still looking for that ultimate producer that I can work with so I can create something so unique that is sounds like we're breaking ground a little bit.

RockEyez: You always wear a U.S. flag on stage at some point, what does America mean to you?

Lizzy Borden: It means everything, especially since we've traveled all around the world. We were able to see how other people live in different countries. Everybody we meet, especially the younger kids, they think where I live in L.A. is like Disneyland. It's the mecca [and] they all want to come here. It's true I look at my window right now it's absolutely amazing, and our whole country is that way. I love it and America means everything to me. When I wrote the song "American Metal", I kind of wrote it about the L.A. music scene at the time. It really means so much more now. When we go to Europe and sing "American Metal", I usually have an American flag joined with a flag of whatever country we're in. It's like a unity thing. It's not necessarily about America, it's about the world now being a unity. I love the way America is run; well, not completely (laughing) but I love most of it.
