Forward in Reverse is the third studio album by the Danish rock band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, scheduled for release on 13 April 2016 in Japan[1] and on 29 April 2016 worldwide.[2] It is the first studio album with new material from the band in 20 years.
Background
A year after the release of their second studio album Rotator from 1996, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy disbanded. They reunited in 2009–2010 in which they went on an extensive tour and released remasters and live albums. On October 20, 2014, Tim Christensen wrote the abbreviation "DML2015" on his Facebook wall, indicating a second reunion.[3] Two days later, they revealed that they had written new songs.[4]
Singles
"I Would If I Could but I Can't", was the first single that Dizzy Mizz Lizzy released in 19 years, which aired on the Danish radio station DR P3 on 5 January 2015.[5] The second single, "Made to Believe", was released on 10 April 2015 in honor of their tour start.[6] In anticipation of the album, "Brainless" was released as the third single on 1 April 2016.[7]
Cover art
The cover art contains an anaglyph 3D rendering of the band's mascot, a photograph of circa 1920 of Vera, the older sister of lead singer Tim Christensen's grandmother on mother's side, who died around the age of 12-14 of tuberculosis.[8] The picture was previously used on among others the band's debut album Dizzy Mizz Lizzy and several compilation albums.
