Album Notes

FIRES OF BABYLON is classic 1980\'s-style, shredding U.S. heavy metal reincarnated! Their line-up is one of highly skilled and lauded musicians, including guitarist Lou St. Paul (WINTERS BANE), vocalist Rob Rock (ex-IMPELLITTERI), bassist Kelly Conlon (ex DEATH), and drummer Robert Falzano (SHATTER MESSIAH). In 1990, guitarist Lou St. Paul formed WINTERS BANE and since that time has consistently displayed his excellent songwriting skills, playing great riffs and shredding solos over intelligent, well thought out lyrical essays. Highly impressed by Lou\'s playing on WINTER’S BANE’s album “Redivivus”, the A&R of Metal Heaven asked St. Paul to write the material and put together a band to record a classic 80\'s metal album – and FIRES OF BABYLON is the result. St. Paul comments: “I was asked if I would write and album with known players from other bands. Of course I said yes. We put the details together and soon the project was on.”Powerhouse vocalist Rob Rock was chosen first, and his extensive discography includes classic albums with IMPELLITTERI, WARRIOR, AXEL RUDI PELL, and M.A.R.S., PROJECT: DRIVER. Rob also has recorded four excellent solo albums (Rage Of Creation, Eyes Of Eternity, Holy Hell, and Garden Of Chaos ).Bassist Kelly Conlon is a veteran of legendary death metal bands DEATH and MONSTROSITY. Conlon performed on the classic DEATH album Symbolic, as well as the MONSTROSITY albums Millennium and In Dark Purity. Kelly is also working with his own band, INFINITY MINUS ONE. Finally added was drummer Robert Falzano, an alum of the Berklee College Of Music, where one his instructors, drum legend Mike Mangini, picked Robert to take his place in ANNIHILATOR for their 2004 tour with JUDAS PRIEST. And the music? 100% pure US Metal with, according to St. Paul, deals with “lyrical themes about relationships, struggles and triumphs, political commentary, and Biblical world views.”
