BABYLON FIRE SOUNDS LIKE NO OTHER BAND ON THE UK ROCK & METAL SCENE RIGHT NOW.
THEY REFUSE TO JUMP ON ANY BANDWAGON & INSTEAD PRIDE THEMSELVES ON MAKING THEIR OWN UNIQUE SOUND WHICH IS A DYNAMIC BLEND OF A POWER HOUSE RHYTHM SECTION COMBINED WITH HEAVY GROOVE LADEN RIFFS, TWIN GUITAR HARMONIES/SOLOS & INFECTIOUS MELODIC VOCALS.
BABYLON FIRE WAS FORMED IN MANCHESTER IN LATE 2007 BY BASS PLAYER RYK SWILLO, LEAD GUITARISTS RISHI MEHTA & WILL REECE,
DRUMMER MARK COOPER & LEAD VOCALIST MARK D.
THEY IMMEDIATELY SET ABOUT WRITING & DEMOING ORIGINAL MATERIAL & DEVELOPING THE BLUEPRINT FOR WHAT WOULD BECOME THE BABYLON FIRE SOUND.
THE PLAN WAS SIMPLE, WRITE SONGS THAT WERE DYNAMIC, POWERFUL & HEAVY BUT ALSO HAD A DEFINITE EMPHASIS ON MELODY. RATHER THAN BE PART OF ANY PARTICULAR TREND OR SCENE THEY CHOSE TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THEIR MANY INFLUENCES YET STILL MAINTAIN A STRONG IDENTITY OF THEIR OWN.
WITH A PASSION, DRIVE & UNBRIDLED DETERMINATION TO TAKE ON THE WORLD'S STAGE, THE BAND TOOK TO THE ROAD IN MARCH 2008 WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN EVER SINCE, HONING THEIR STAGECRAFT & PICKING UP DEDICATED FOLLOWERS ALONG THE WAY.
THE RECEPTION THE BAND HAS RECEIVED FROM AUDIENCES SO FAR HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING & UP TO NOW THEY HAVE SHARED STAGES WITH THE LIKES OF BLAZE BAYLEY, HEAVEN'S BASEMENT & ORANGE GOBLIN TO NAME
A FEW.
IN MAY 2009 THE BAND ENTERED THE STUDIO TO MAKE THEIR RECORDING DEBUT, AN E.P CONTAINING 4 OUTSTANDING TRACKS OF WORLD CLASS BRITISH METAL ENTITLED "THE DAY THE ANGELS DIED" WHICH AS ALREADY STARTED TO RECEIVE SOME AMAZING FEEDBACK INCLUDING PLAYS BY IRON MAIDEN'S BRUCE DICKINSON ON HIS BBC RADIO ROCK SHOW. BRUCE HAS BEEN RAVING ABOUT THE BAND & HE PREDICTS A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF THEM.
THE SHEER QUALITY OF THIS E.P ALONG WITH THE BAND'S FORMIDABLE LIVE SHOW & ETHOS OF HARD WORK & RELENTLESS TOURING WILL FIRMLY ESTABLISH BABYLON FIRE AS FORERUNNERS AMONGST THE VERY BEST THAT BRITAIN HAS TO OFFER.
It's already cracking up to be a belter of a year. Gigs lined up already and will FINALLY learn to play guitar. Have been wanting to do that for years!
Christopher Lee at 87, demonstrates that metal has no age or boundaries. It's for everyone.
We do appreciate your support. If you haven't already done so, please check the samples we have uploaded for "Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross".
Rest assured that we will eventually get to check your profile in more detail.
Hope to see you on the road in 2010 indeed! Speaking of the road, http://www.myspace.com/purpleturtlecamden. This venue is looking for bands for two dates next month. Good luck if you go for it man.
To ALL the guys of Babylon Fire, have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year. Keep up the great work into 2010 and beyond. Seeing as you guys like Pantera, i'd thought i'd share this with you to keep that metal mentality going into 2010. Take care.
