LIZZY BORDEN frontman/namesake Lizzy Borden is featured in a new interview with Arto Lehtinen And Marko Syrjala of Metal Rules. An excerpt follows:

Q: So regarding the Lizzy Borden albums, the previous album, Appointment With Death, came out in 2007 and the album before that was Deal With The Devil in 2000. There is a seven-year gap. Does that mean there will be a seven-year gap to get a new album out because you haven’t however rushed releasing new albums?

A: "Yeah, well the music industry collapsed, especially in the United States. From what I hear on this tour, they were telling me that the physical CD will be gone in Europe in 2013. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I keep hearing it. So, it’s like we put out Deal With The Devil and we were very disappointed with the way it was marketed and no one did anything and it just kind of came out there and most people don’t know that it is out there. Appointment With Death they did a little bit better only because everyone liked it so much. The reviews were so good and it kind of built up steam. We had two videos and we were doing so well in the US with it. So to put out another one I want to make sure it gets heard and it gets exposed but the industry has been so rocky and so crazy that I haven’t been in a rush to throw it out there. I know that it will get to our fans but I want it to get beyond that. And then I want to write a record that is the best record we’ve ever done. In order to do that you have kind of got to – I thought Appointment With Death was like that album came full circle because it was influenced by Lizzy Borden. It kind of went through our whole catalog and it was kind of influenced by us, so now that we have done that it is time to move on to try and do something and break new ground. It is a little bit harder to do that. You write 10 songs and you throw nine out and you get one gem, you know? You keep doing that over and over until you have an album. So that’s kind of why it is taking a little longer, but we are getting there."

Q: At one point you said there might not be any more Lizzy Borden albums in the future. Do you still think that way or have you changed your mind?

A: "You know, you make every record like it’s going to be your last. I think we will make the next one and there might be ten more but we’re going to make it like it’s the last one which we put out, you know? You just don’t know how it’s going to go down and how everything goes, but I hope there’s more records. But I don’t know. If we work on this next one we will work on it like it will be the last. Like I said, we could make ten after that, but we don’t know."
