For decades, the name Lizzy Borden has been synonymous with top-tier heavy metal music. Now, Lizzy Borden returns with his first original music since the widely praised album My Midnight Things from 2018, presenting the digital single “Death of Me” – out now!
This new single was meticulously crafted, engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by none other than Kane Churko (known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment).
Reflecting on the new track, Lizzy Borden commented: “Death of Me was a fantastic experiment! Kane Churko was Dr. Frankenstein, and I was the monster roaring in the vocal booth as he injected bolts of electricity over and over, seeking the ideal vocal performance. Collaborating with individuals who can push me beyond my comfort zone has been a constant pursuit. As a result, I’ve never recorded two albums that sound the same. Every song I write represents an opportunity to explore new territory. In my initial conversation with Kane about working together, he remarked that he didn’t know how to do what I do, just as I hadn’t spent much time in his world. He asked, ‘Are you sure you want to give this a shot?’ I saw it as a challenge!”

Lizzy continued, “Our first two hours in the studio were spent in conversation. Kane was trying to grasp the kind of song I wanted to create with him. After producing numerous albums and performing worldwide throughout the decades, the word that resonated was perseverance. While our approaches to music may seem worlds apart, navigating life’s challenges one obstacle at a time is a universal theme… and that’s the essence of the song I aimed to compose. ‘Death of Me’ embodies the spirit of never surrendering, of refusing to let anyone drag you down. It celebrates the realization that this journey won’t be easy, yet we’re committed to overcoming it. You can cut me until I bleed, but you won’t be my demise.”
Regarding the music video, Lizzy added: “Working with Robert Graves was reminiscent of my collaboration with a young Zack Snyder (known for his work on Superman, Batman vs Superman, Justice League) on the ‘Love Is a Crime’ video from the Master of Disguise album. Their directing styles align closely, and filming felt like we were crafting a movie rather than a music video. Robert listened to the song and after a brief phone conversation, he devised this storyline. Filming this gothic horror tale was an absolute delight. A boy stalks a girl, she ensnares him like a spider capturing a fly, and too late, the boy realizes he was the victim all along; a story as old as time itself. I hope the audience has as much fun watching this video as we did creating it. See you on the other side.”
