Formed in 1988, Babylon A.D. hail from the San Francisco Bay Area,
California. 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 thanks to their impressive three song demo
and a home made video.
Their self-titled album “BABYLON A.D.” was released in1990 and included
their hard rock classic hits "Bang Go The Bells", "Hammer Swings Down",
"Desperate" and "The Kid Goes Wild", which also was the trailer song
and video for Orion Pictures “ROBO COP 2.”
The band scored three #1 songs at metal radio and reached gold on their
first release which spent 38 weeks in the billboard top 200 reaching
#46. Their sophomore effort "Nothing Sacred" released in 1992 produced
two more top ten metal rockers "Bad Blood" and "So Savage the Heart".
Constant touring throughout the early 1990s and several MTV videos made
them one of hard rock fans favorites.
After spending several years with Arista Records 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. In 2002 the band released "American Blitzkrieg" and both
CDs were well received by critics and fans alike. In 2008 the band
released "In The Beginning" on Apocalypse/Perris Records. A compilation
of songs from the original demo tapes that secured them their original
record deal with Arista Records.
In 2014 the band released the E.P. titled "Fresno – The Lost Sessions

Rock Festival" in Nottingham England.
