The release of the new album is in sight
As some of you know by now there was 70 copies of a special pre-release version (LE001X) of the upcoming Lizard Eye album "Flames of the sun" available at the gig at Arapaho Territory some weeks ago. It was a surprise, we simply wanted to give something special to all who support the band and the CDs were completely sold out in a flash. The feedback so far is amazing, everyone seems to love it.
So yes, some already has the new Lizard Eye album! But at the end of the summer the wait over for all the rest of you as well.
The album will be released and out in various forms after summer, around September 1st. But already on Monday (May 2) a song from it will be released as a digital single for everyone to listen to for free - so be sure to get back and check that out.

Lizard Eye has been reborn... and so has this site
So...
...Lizard Eye is a band again and alive and kicking, maybe even more a real "band" than it has ever been. In the new line-up Gudmundsson and Saari have been joined by Johan Klevenskog on bass and Ralph Rydén on the drums making it a very tight unit, both musically and personally. The first photo ever taken of the new band:
Lizard Eye is rehearsing the new band into shape and will hit the stage in the beginning of next year. The recording of a full-length album will start in the first half of next year as well.
Don't forget to check out the
Lizard Eye myspace-site, www.myspace.com/lizardeyetheband, from time to time, we will be putting out videos and photos of the progress of, well, basically everything. As a matter of fact there are some rehearsal and hanging around photos out over there already.
