Album Info
Originally a European release on Metal Heaven Records, Fires Of Babylon was re-issued in the USA by Retroactive Records in the winter of 2009.
This is the band's only release. The album is classic 1980's and 90's style, shredding U.S. heavy metal reincarnated! Rob Rock's voice is the golden voice of heavy metal, hence the legions of fans who revere his solo works and Impellitteri will enjoy this with full approval. His harsh yet melodic yet high-pitched throat shall leave no room for protest. On the other hand, the WINTER'S BANE 'ghost' is allover the album, with Lou St. Paul providing some impressive guitar riffs/themes/leads the American way. Do not imagine something that old-school; we're primarily talkin' 'bout the post-mid-80's blend in Metal music in America, with semi-complex compositions and a variety in 'colors' of reference (Jacobs Dream and Kamelot come to mind). There are hints of European metal displayed by bands like Mystic Prophecy, Brainstorm, Falconer and Bloodbound. Without a doubt, fans of high energy melodic metal will agree that the skills of this All-Star cast shine as brightly as their royal Heavy Metal pedigrees!
Produced by Lou St. Paul.
Drums and bass tracked at Smiley Sound Studios.
Vocal recorded by Bob Rossi.
Mixed by Lou St. Paul and Eroc at Gray Layne Studios.
Lou St. Paul (Autumns Ruin, Winters Bane, Kill Procedure) - Guitars
