Derek Davis, Babylon A.D. lead singer, “We are really excited about this release. The band’s sound engineer recorded three of our shows and then we went about listening to all the tracks we had recorded. The best sounding tracks came from The Empress Theater in Vallejo CA and Swiss Park Music Hall in Newark CA. We had sixteen songs to choose from and we settled on fourteen. Every studio album we have released is represented so it\u2019s a good mix of songs. It was really cool putting the final mixes together, hearing the songs fresh with a few the surprises and a few mistakes here and there kept it interesting and real. The band is booking shows now and plan to do a lot of dates this year and keep the energy we have alive. We can\u2019t wait to start playing again, The only thing good that came out of the whole Covid lock down is the song writing time we used. We are in the rehearsal stage for a new album and we have demos of fifteen songs already and plan to narrow that down to ten to twelve of the best tracks. We plan to release the new studio album early next year. Babylon A.D. is Back ! And we are ready to start a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
