Babylon Mystery Orchestra's first album is an unforgettable experience.
author: Janvier R
"Divine Right Of Kings" is a welcome refresher in the quickly stagnating genre that is gothic metal. From the opener, A Habitation of Devils, to the closing notes of Crestfallen, the slow, almost doom-infused drone that is Sidney Allen Johnson's Babylon Mystery Orchestra is, simply put, hyptnotizing. Also noteworthy are the lyrics, which have something to say, and say it well. They are uncompromising and clear, without becoming preachy. A very nicely done album!

A very impressive album, highly recommended, if you think you can take it.
author: Metal Crypt
I must say this is a very impressive-sounding album, with its omnipresent severe overtone that grabs your attention right from the first note up until the very end. The lyrical content is very mature, it is obvious by the quality of the writing that a lot of thought went into the lyrics. You have to be open-minded to stomach some of the content, especially if you're an American national (the cover art is a good indication of what's inside.) There's a lot of biblical references, although this is not Christian metal with the preaching stuff or what have you - at least the way I interpreted it, the passages used are simply there to help convey the strong message. The vocals and the music are tightly coupled together on this album, and the lyrics just add to the power of the music - you just can't ignore them.

This is a band that really has something to say.
author: Vic Tzougrakis
First thing we notice is the fine quality of the music, which is based on Gothic forms but also contains enough Metal stuff, it's slow and melodic at times, faster and more catchy at others, but always good, full of negative emotions and this works for the album. Another thing that has to be mentioned is the subject of the lyrics, which deals with society, and his native country in general. Some keyboards here and there are simply enriching the atmosphere and make the album even more interesting. The production is also very good, clear and powerful enough, and this is another big plus for the album. Definitely an album that has to be listened a couple of times before you reveal all it's secrets, and read the lyrics thoroughly.
