Lizzard is Katy Elwell on drums, Mathieu Ricou on guitar & vocals, and William Knox on bass. The trio started out in early 2006 and recorded their first demo in the same year. They went on to perform shows around France throughout 2007 and built up a solid fan base. The band's first EP Venus was produced by Rhys Fulber (Paradise Lost, Fear Factory, Front Line Assembly…). Rhys loved Lizzard’s music, finding the band to have “a marvelous polyrythmic sound”.
