Search - Babylon Mystery Orchestra :: Divine Right Of Kings

DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS: The first release from the controversial gothic metal artist Babylon Mystery Orchestra. Features the favorites "We Are Power" and "It's My Right." The subject matter is deep for this kind of music, suggesting the United States of America as the fulfillment of the Biblical "Mystery Babylon" prophecies. Tragedy: Defined by Websters Dictionary as a serious play with an uhappy ending. So it is with the first release from Babylon Mystery Orchestra. "Divine Right Of Kings" explores the ultimate American tragedy in this most unusual heavy metal opus. It's a story 2000 years in the making. Is America to be found in the frightening words of Biblical Prophecy? Is she ultimately hopelessly doomed to destruction for having betrayed......GOD? From the powerful arrogance of the opening track "We Are Power" we see this superpower of all time: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT a lone superstate that all the wealth and power in the world emenates from. As our story unfolds we see that though she may have no apparent enemies to her face she has many to be found in herself. "Road to Madness" shows her people in a state of confusion. "Whore" shows her wicked lust for money. Has there ever been a song about the stock market before? "Its My Right" reveals the wonderful world of infighting over politics. Yet with "Savages With Cash" Mystery Babylon shows the full extent of her evil. She places many gods over the one true God that gave her her high place. Idolatry in its highest form: worshipping her own celebrities and ultimately worshipping the nationstate itself. But no tragedy would be complete without an introspective look into how all these things affect the individual. "Save My Soul" and "Evado Eversor" offer two totally different responses to the situation. With "Mourning Glory" and "Divine Justice" the great empire is Judged and ultimately reaps her reward. The reward for the listener is "Crestfallen" a melancholy soliloquy that eulogizes the lost empire.
