Lizard 99 - Black Fantastic (1990)

"A Hit on the Head" by Lizard 99


The Greenhornes's recorded their debut at Ultrasuede Studio in Cincinnati.  One of the earliest other debut albums I could find recorded there was Lizard 99's 1990 self-released album Black Fantastic.

The first track of Black Fantastic calls to mind The Feelies mixed with Steve Albini's Big Black project but after "Dance Dance Dance" concludes, it gives way to the less industrial and more metal and goth rock influences of the 80s.  Solid musicianship prevents Black Fantastic from becoming a chore to listen to even if the lyrics force an eye-roll at least once or twice per song.

Here is the discography for Lizard 99:
