Behind The Veil Webzine-Christine Parastatidou

"A majestic, enchanting and extremely clever release that no one should miss." 10/10

Product Description

From one of the most well known stories in human history comes this offering from Babylon Mystery Orchestra. However, "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" is no ordinary tale. Culled from ancient and controversial texts, it is the story of the origin of music itself. Built on a backdrop of fallen angels and the well known flood story, this is a tale of the highest treachery and betrayal. The story of angels that knowingly violate the laws of God for one brief moment of world domination, bringing with them a forbidden knowledge and behavior. Since this is Babylon Mystery Orchestra, you know there has to be a twist to this story. The music brought into this world was, by no means, a benevolent form of entertainment. Music was used to actively teach and promote violence and debauchery. It's ultimately successful purpose: to decieve the whole of mankind and drive them away from God. By it's description, this music could easily be labeled as rock and roll. Once again Babylon Mystery Orchestra dare to ask a most dangerous question: If rock and roll was used to decieve and destroy the entire world thousands of years ago, what is its purpose today? Long Live Rock and Roll?....It already has!!

This review is from: On Earth As It Is in Heaven [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

Gotta tell you folks, this is one cool album.If you like your metal with Gothic overtones but not doom/gloom Goth-like lyrics, then this is an album you'll want to check out. I happen to like it very much!

The first track, Descension is a lovely accoustic guitar melody that just draws you in as if a master musician at the Crossroads was taunting you with learning the Blues. It's haunting and lively. The only bad part is it's too short! lol At 2;05, I'd loved it if the man could've extended it out further.

The next track I'm partial too is "Violation". All of my siblings & friens who like hard core heavy metal all tell me they like this song and that's because the opening riff is kick *ss! You can certainly hear those humbuckers on his B. C. Rich guitar just chuggin out the sounds. "My name will live forever near and far...Violation! Violation! Violation! Violation!" This is a song about ROCK MUSIC and the pure joy of just enjoying the violation of your soul when you give it over to the music. "It's the Witchcraft of the soul, called Rock n' Roll! Violation! Violation! Violation! Violation!" With lyrics like that, how can you not like it?

"Ravishing Music" is the song that got me interested in this guy's music in the first place. He had it on one of those compilation CD's that come with glossy music magazines out on the music stands. While I'm not thrilled with the vocals on this song, the lyrics rock & the riff is smokin'. The tone of the song is bitchin' too! "I'm burnin', in a cauldron of sin! I'm gonna drag you in! Ravishing Music, take my hand; carry me to your promised land; Ravishing music you ahve control, take away my soul!"

The only track on here I don't care for is "Rainbow's End". I dunno but it sounds too much like he wrote that with a movie soundtrack in mind. It just doesn't hit me the right way the rest of the album did. Can't help it. Not that it's a bad track but rather just not one I care for.

Overall this is a great album of terrific, 4/4 Rock & Roll music with deep bass guitar, striking drums, chuggin' guitar & smooth vocals with "Gods-help-me!" lyrics.

Some folks liken this guy to a Christian Rocker but I do not. I think he's just misunderstood and quite capable of ripping out good tunes without all of the industry hype that so many other bands fall into.

Creative, thought provoking original music!!!! Non-derivative theme that explores a whole new area of modern music. From out of left field (and the back woods of Alabama)comes a contemporary fresh voice in Heavy Metal music. A "must buy" album.
