More hard-rock than heavy metal, L.A.'s Babylon A.D. get the commercial sound right on Nothing Sacred, despite the tacky cover artwork. More muscular and real than most of the pop-metal to hit the charts in recent years, one can only hope that groups like this will continue to supplant Poison-type dross. The live-wire guitars on uptempo material like "Sacrifice Your Love" and "Psychedelic Sex Reaction" owe a debt to Michael Schenker from his UFO days; lead vocalist Derek (just Derek to you) sings as if life itself depended on every note; the group delivers powerful, memorable ballads on "So Savage the Heart" (serious hit material) and "Down on the River of No Return" without resorting to power-ballad cliché; and integrates some cool banjo picking on the Aerosmith-like "Dream Train."
Formed in 1986, Babylon A.D. hail from the Bay Area in California. Original members vocalist and songwriter Derek Davis, guitarists and music writers Dan De La Rosa and Ron Freschi, percussionist James Pacheco, and bassist Eric Pacheco were in rival bands until uniting as Babylon A.D. After joining together, they caught the attention of Arista Records president and industry music mogul Clive Davis, who signed them at a showcase in Los Angeles thanks to their impressive three-song demo and homemade video. Their self-titled album was released in 1990 and their sophomore effort, Nothing Sacred, followed two years later. After spending several years with Arista and following a five-year hiatus, the band signed with Apocalypse Records and released American Blitzkrieg in 1999. That same year, the band also released Live in Your Face, a compilation of live tracks. They have cited Led Zeppelin, UFO, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Kiss as influences.
