     Anyway, dragging myself back into the modern day a recent arrival at CackBlabbath was the new single from Black Country rockers Liberty Lies. Now when I first checked them out a while back they were a band who just seemed to be missing something, there was definite potential but they just didn’t quite have that edge…Well, fast forward a few months and the band have a new lineup, a new musical direction and a new single called Confessions Of An Effigy. Oh, and an edge, they definitely found their edge. The “A” side (kids, ask your parents) is the titular Confessions Of An Effigy which hints at just how far Liberty Lies have come. It’s a mature and confident effort which showcases the band’s development into fully fledged home grown rockstars in waiting. It also demonstrates their transformation from their previous blues rock form into something harder and heavier.
