FIRES OF BABYLON Debut To Receive U.S. Release In January

December 16, 2008

FIRES OF BABYLON — the classic 1980s-style, shredding U.S. heavy metal band featuring guitarist Lou St. Paul (WINTERS BANE),vocalist Rob Rock (ex-IMPELLITTERI),bassist Kelly Conlon (ex-DEATH),and drummer Robert Falzano (ex-ANNIHILATOR) — will have its self-titled debut album released in the U.S. on January 27, 2009 via Retroactive Records. The CD was issued in Europe in April 2008 through Metal Heaven.

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 WINTERS BANE's album "Redivivus", Metal Heaven's A&R representative Georg Siegl asked St. Paul to write the material and put together a band to record a classic '80s metal album — and FIRES OF BABYLON is the result.

Comments St. Paul: "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."

And the music? 100% pure U.S. metal which, according to St. Paul, deals with "lyrical themes about relationships, struggles and triumphs, political commentary, and Biblical world views."

"Fires Of Babylon" track listing:

01. Falling To Pieces
02. Devilution
03. When The Kingdom Comes
04. Lake Of Fire
05. Holy Resurrection
06. Going Through Changes
