Some Messiahs deliver their Gospel, hang out for a long weekend & then leave the rest to the followers. The Lord Of The Lard calls on Ben Christo, Z. Marr, en Esch, Tim Skold, Marc Heal, Phil Barry, Mark Thwaite, Anita Sylph & Emre Ramazanoglu & gets to work on bringing glam to the damned. "Risen" is the unadulterated & driven sound of pure, adorned only by the poetry Raymond Watts provides.
