LIZZY BORDEN In Los Angeles With Photos! By Charlie Steffens aka Gnarly Charlie, Writer/Photographer Thursday, March 7, 2024 @ 8:25 AM
It was a heavy metal homecoming at the Whisky a Go Go, Sunset Boulevard's hallowed rock n' roll club. LIZZY BORDEN (eponymous with the lead singer) has been touted as a legacy band on the Metal Blade Records label. To avert laying down a bunch of stats that can easily be pulled off Wikipedia, this review will tell you that LIZZY BORDEN is more than a shock rock act. Yet, if the band ever decided to pull the macabre theatrics, black roses, and blood spewing, fans would be disappointed. After the opening bands (BLACK STAR SINNERS, THE GUITAR AND WHISKEY CLUB, and SNIFTERS) performed, the Whisky's floor became packed and a lucky dozen or two snatched a spot against the stage. SNIFTERS, a female-fronted heavy metal band, were direct support for LIZZY BORDEN; Vocalist Dilana Ismailova and guitarist Sam Fairless are standout performers in this emerging five-piece act from Los Angeles.
Props filled the stage and the decibels pegged at full, but the sound quality was lush. The sweet spot in the room was about 50 feet back from the stage, where the band's dynamics could really be heard. Alexander carried out his guitar duties well, playing with a physicality that drew a lot of attention. Scott, shrouded by his drum kit, blasted away with power and precision. From the start of the show till "Redrum" at the encore, the energy and excitement didn't dissipate. There were a few "all-time highs" during the show; witnessing Borden belt out "Me Against The World", then hearing the audience shout back the chorus will not be forgotten, at least with this reviewer.
