Heavy metal's High Mistress, Lita Ford, is back and with a vengeance. Although the album is her first full-length offering since 1995's Black, Lita wastes no time in reminding us why her trademark riffage and seductive snarl has forever cemented her legacy in the hard rock cannon. According to Lita, Wicked Wonderland is "heavier than ever, nastier than ever, more sexual than ever."

The twelve-song disc, co-written and produced by husband Jim Gillette - whose own musical history is highlighted by his work with acclaimed metallurgists Nitro - is a hard and heavy affirmation of Lita's sensuality and smarts that have carried her through three decades of action. The album's lead-off track and first single, "Crave," is a sexually-charged, bump-and-grind rocker that has been welcomed by metal fans and press alike.

Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder must've been thinking about the relationship between Lita Ford and rock 'n' roll. The hard rock queen stepped away from her remarkable musical career back in the 1990s to devote herself to family and the surroundings of real life on a surreal Caribbean island, but with the call of the sonic wild getting louder and louder, she made the decision to dive back in at the deep end - only to find that she had every bit as much love for the heavy rock grind. And as it turns out, the feeling is mutual.

With Wicked Wonderland, her first full-length offering since 1995's Black, Lita shows that her flair for sexy, stomping, searing sounds has only gotten more vivid - which is mighty impressive, given a history that includes such classics as "Kiss Me Deadly" and the Ozzy Osbourne duet "Close My Eyes Forever." The disc, created in tandem with husband Jim Gillette - whose own musical history is highlighted by his work with acclaimed metallurgists Nitro - is a hard and heavy affirmation of the sensuality and smarts that've carried her through three decades of action.

"it's funny, as I've gotten older, I've only gotten freakier," says Lita. "Yeah, I took time to raise my kids and by raising my kids, I mean really doing it - home-schooling them myself, growing our food, baking bread for dinner. But at the end of the day, when it's time to go to the boudoir, Jim and I are super-sexual and that's definitely reflected in these songs."
