Bio:
Babylon A.D. is a hard rock band formed in 1986. Babylon A.D. hail from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Original members, Derek Davis vocalist/songwriter, guitarists and music writers Dan De La Rosa and Ron Freschi, drummer Jamey Pacheco and bassist Robb Reid were all in childhood rival bands. In 1989, Babylon A.D. caught the attention of Arista Records president and industry music mogul Clive Davis, who signed them at a live showcase in Los Angeles.Babylon A.D. self-titled album was released in 1989 and included their hard rock classic hits "Bang Go the Bells", "Hammer Swings Down" and "The Kid Goes Wild", which was the trailer song and video for Orion Pictures movie RoboCop 2. The band scored three number one songs at metal radio and reached gold on their first release. Their sophomore effort "Nothing Sacred", released in 1992 produced two more metal radio chart toppers, "Bad Blood" and "So Savage the Heart". Constant touring throughout the early 1990s and several MTV videos made them one of hard rock fans favorite bands.After spending several years with Arista, the band signed with Apocalypse Records in 1999 and released Live in Your Face, a compilation of live tracks recorded at various cities throughout the United States. The band's next release American Blitzkrieg, soon followed in 2002 and both CDs were well received by critics and fans alike. In 2006, the band released In the Beginning on Apocalypse/Perris Records, which contained songs from the original demo tapes that secured them their record deal with Arista Records.After a long hiatus, the band regrouped with all original members and recorded a new version of their No. 1 metal hit song "Bang Go the Bells" which is now available worldwide from Apocalypse Records.Vocalist and songwriter Derek Davis is currently recording his first studio release (Re-Volt) which is due on January 30, 2012 world wide.In late 2007, Ron Freschi started a project called Syrym, providing a return to the guitar-heavy sound of Babylon A.D.'s debut album. Syrym's self-titled debut was released for digital download on August 16, 2008. The CD version of the album was released October 17, 2008. Their first single, "Warpath," hit stores June 25, 2008.
Album:
First time reissued in fully remastered form, here’s in exclusive the recent Bad Reputation Records release of BABYLON A.D. killer album “Nothing Sacred“, including 3 bonus tracks. Babylon A.D. enjoyed a small success with their selftitled debut (1989) album and they still gained trust from Arista Records to release this second album in 1992. Their musical style here is like a collision between WARRANT and the smoky, locomotive rock and roll of AEROSMITH. They’re also heavily influenced by the classic rock acts such as LED ZEPPELIN, AC/DC, and UFO. Take a winning team, complete it with Tom Werman at the production helm, and you get a pretty awesome second chapter from the band. This Bad Reputation remaster is awesome, including 3 bonus tracks live, two never previously released on CD including a cover of Aerosmith’s ‘Sick As a Dog’. Standout tracks here are “Take The Dog Off The Chain”, “Psychedelic Sex Reaction”, “Dream Train”, and the absolute monstrous power ballad, “So Savage The Heart”. At the time of this recording Babylon A.D. were a more mature unit, and you cant tell with the strong songwriting and arrangements. Just listen to ‘Redemption’… what a kick ass powerful sound. “Nothing Sacred” is one of the latest releases from the genre in 1992 before the dark age in US rock begun… Killer CD all over, and a very welcomed punchy remastering job by Bad Reputation.
