Lizzy Borden - Master Of Diguise (1990)


Somewhere between the raw meat blues of W.A.S.P. and Twisted Sister, yep, Lizzy Borden is something that heavy metal once needed. theatrics, image and hairspray, but I'm quite liking this, and see it as a serious metal record rather than drab imitation. Lizzy apparently fired his band and is working here with hired musicians, but I'm liking the quality of tracks, albeit straight down the line dramatic metal but kinda bereft of the cheesiness of earlier work. This record brings with it some orchestral numbers, having the feel of a concept album, so you could do a lot worse than purchasing this, because it's quite decent power metal showing that even the old dogs within the scene could progress.


7/10
