Visual Lies, the third album from Los Angeles heavy metal crew Lizzy Borden, came out on Metal Blade in 1987 and caught the band at its commercial high-water mark. The band took its name from the notorious Lizzie Borden, tried and acquitted of murder, and at its core the lineup was a family affair: Borden on lead vocals, his brother Joey Scott on drums, Mike Davis on bass and Gene Allen on guitar, joined for this one record only by Joe Holmes, credited as J. Holmes, who'd go on to play guitar for David Lee Roth and Ozzy Osbourne. Max Norman produced.
The payoff was "Me Against the World", a fist-up anthem that got a promo video and also turned up in Black Roses, a 1987 heavy-metal horror flick that '80s metal fans still treat as a cult classic. Master of Disguise came next.
