Heavy metal icon Lizzy Borden turns 65 as legacy roars on
Los Angeles, June 23, 2025 — The iconic frontman of the shock‑metal band Lizzy Borden, Gregory Charles Harges — better known by his stage name Lizzy Borden — celebrated his 65th birthday yesterday, marking over four decades at the forefront of heavy metal. Born on June 23, 1960, Borden has been a driving force in the genre since forming the band in 1983 with his brother Joey Scott Harges .
From their early days on Metal Blade Records, Lizzy Borden surged into the spotlight with the provocative 1985 debut Love You to Pieces, followed by the charting albums Menace to Society and the theatrical masterpiece Master of Disguise, which peaked at #133 on the Billboard 200 . Renowned for their theatrical stagecraft and power‑metal edge, they were immortalized in The Decline of Western Civilization II .
Over the years, many lineup changes tested the band’s resilience, including the tragic loss of guitarist Alex Nelson in 2004. Yet the group returned stronger in 2007 with Appointment with Death and again in 2018 with My Midnight Things, their first full studio album in eleven years . In 2023, Borden released the gothic‑horror single “Death of Me,” pushing his creative boundaries with producer Kane Churko .
As he enters his seventh decade, Borden shows no signs of slowing down. A recent interview highlighted his plans for a heavier new album under contract with Metal Blade Records, marking his return to an ultra‑heavy sound that could define the next chapter of his career .
Now at 65, Lizzy Borden remains an enduring symbol of shock‑rock rebellion — a legacy as fearless as ever.
