With the current abundance of symphonic metal bands, ever wondered who actually invented the genre? Most would point to Savatage's 1989 release "Gutter Ballet" and they would be correct, of course, but credit goes too at times to a similar and, regrettably, far less known band/artist named Lizzy Borden. Released just months before "Gutter Ballet," "Master of Disguise" is credited as a Lizzy Borden album, but it is as far removed from the band's earlier heavy and power metal ("Love You To Pieces" and "Menace to Society") and more recent glam metal offering ("Visual Lies") as can be. Additionally the album sports a large number of guest appearances (9 to be exact) with only Lizzy Borden (the singer that is) and his brother and drummer Joey Scott appearing on every track and therefore it is better thought of as a Lizzy Borden solo album. Normally I am not too crazy about a long and prominent guest list (well the only prominent musician is bassist Joey Vera). But Lizzy Borden proves to be a competent band leader as everyone synchs together really well. Read more ›› |

Spotty and a bit silly, just like Visual Lies, still it works enough of the time to make it a good record. Probably my least favourite record from their classic era. EDIT: Been listening to this one and VIsual Lies a lot recently and both have really grown on me. Brings me back to a period where metal felt alive and kicking

Written by majormalfunction on 18.02.2021 at 09:43 Yeah, this one grew on me a lot more in the last couple years as well. A great record that I didn't love when it was new. Really fun to rediscover it.
