Lizzy Borden launches video for new single, « Long May They Haunt Us« , via Loudwire
For decades, Lizzy Borden has been one of theatrical rock’s top front-men. And on June 15th, Borden will issue his first album in 11 years, My Midnight Things, via Metal Blade Records. The extended layoff between albums has not dulled his desire to rock and shock. « Although we have stayed busy touring all over the world, I missed being a recording artist. I look at the new album as a new beginning, I pushed the restart button on my career, » Borden comments.
For a preview of My Midnight Things, head over to Loudwire.com now for the video premiere of « Long May They Haunt Us », which Lizzy Borden proclaims as « the most meaningful song on the ‘My Midnight Things‘ album. It’s about those people that are no longer in our lives but we still think about them every single day. They haunt us with more than a memory, a haunt that we hope will never go away. » The video (directed by David Brodsky ) can be viewed at http://loudwire.com/lizzy-borden-long-may-they-haunt-us-video-premiere/

Having signed a new contract with Metal Blade on the strength of three demo tracks, Borden opted to produce My Midnight Things himself, with Joey Scott as co-producer, who also handled all the drumming duties. « I knew what I was going for and had doubts that I could find a producer who would understand that, » Borden explains. « My approach is very different than what is happening in today’s current sound. »
The album was also mixed by Greg Fidelman (Metallica, Black Sabbath, Adele, U2) and mastered by Tom Baker (David Bowie, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Tom Petty).
Borden is planning on hitting the road shortly. « I’ve already started working on the ‘My Midnight Things‘ show, and I really can’t wait to play these songs live, » Borden adds. « There are so many talented players out there in the world, I know I will find the right musicians to be on stage with me in my touring band in the new show. And just based on what is being talked about so far, it will be the best show I’ve ever done. I really do feel a new excitement that I have not felt in years. The best is yet to come. »
