ABOUT THE ALBUM
Fall Babylon Fall (1992) introduced the world to Sweden’s Veni Domine, a band unlike anything else in the metal scene at the time. Combining the progressive flair of Queensrÿche with strong hints of the heavy doom-laden atmosphere for which the band would become known. Veni Domine created a sound both operatic and apocalyptic. Lyrically rooted in Scripture and end-time visions, the album quickly became a cult classic for fans of dramatic, thought-provoking metal.
This deluxe reissue from Melodic Passion brings new life to the landmark debut. The album has been fully remastered by Carl Johan Grimmark (guitarist for Swedish prog-power legends Narnia) and packaged with breathtaking new artwork from fantasy master Rodney Matthews. The CD edition comes housed in a jewel case with a 16-page deluxe booklet featuring full lyrics, exclusive band photos, and an extensive band history essay that continues through the band’s follow-up, Material Sanctuary. Only 475 copies of the CD have been pressed worldwide.
As a bonus, the CD includes the rare 1997 track “Visions,” originally recorded for the Japanese reissue. Fans who opt for the 2LP gatefold vinyl edition will also receive two additional brand-new acoustic-based recordings, “In the Day of the Sentinel” and “Wisdom Calls,” making the vinyl edition the definitive collector’s version. The album maintains its status as an iconic album firmly entrenched as heavy metal royalty. Limited supplies.
For fans of Dream Theater, Queensrÿche, Crimson Glory, and Sacred Warrior — with slight hints of Trouble and Black Sabbath — Fall Babylon Fall remains one of the most unique and powerful albums in progressive and doom metal history.
