Babylon Whores - King Fear
Review by R. Lima
Babylon Whores' album King Fear is a darkly alluring masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of gothic rock and metal. The album is a haunting exploration of fear, desire, and the darker aspects of the human psyche, with lyrics that are both poetic and provocative.
From the pulsing rhythms of "Life Fades Away" to the mournful balladry of "Sol Niger," King Fear is a tour de force of musical and lyrical artistry. The band's signature sound, characterized by driving guitars, atmospheric keyboards, and moody vocals, is at its best on tracks like "Death in Prague" and "King Fear: Song for the Damned."

About Babylon Whores
Deathrock band from Helsinki, Finland.
Babylon Whores was founded in 1994 by vocalist Ike Vil and guitarist Ewo Meichem. Band's early works were heavily punk influenced, but their style grew heavier, darker, more varied and complex with each release. The group released three full length albums and remained active until mid 2000's when they started to become less active and eventually withdrew on indefinite hiatus. After this they have made few occasional live appearances (last one in 2007), usually under pseudonym such as Whores of Babylon, or Babylon Horse.
Final line-up:
Ike Vil (Ilkka Salmenpohja) - Vocals (19942007)
Pete Liha (Petri Mukkala) - Drums (19941995, 19982007)
Antti Litmanen - Guitar (19952007)
Daniel Stuka (Taneli Nyholm) - Bass (19992007)
Mr. Boa (Aki Martinkauppi) - Guitar (20022007)
Former members have since been most active in , (Antti Litmanen) and (Ike Vil).
