LATEST UPDATES:
AUGUST 1, 2008: More reviews have been added as well as a couple of essays. I have actually been working on material for a fifth BMO CD. As I have indicated in some interviews, I intend for it to cover a variety of subjects and not be built around a single theme. So far I am sticking to that. But I am also getting very eager to start the sixth CD, that will bring a return to the "concept" record. Lets face it...I like that format and it just seems easier for me to stay focused on the work that way...and by the way, don't miss the new Batman movie. Its that good.
JUNE 1, 2008: A new essay is posted today. Be sure and check the "Axis Of Evil" reviews and interviews page as there are three new interviews. I have posted many more reviews, including some new "Dhimmi" reviews. Make sure you scroll down and read them as they are quite amusing. As many of you have noticed I have been adding some "interesting" visuals to accompany them. I have added a few more of them as well.
MAY 16, 2008: Plenty of new reviews are being added to the "Axis Of Evil" reviews page. A new interview is also posted there with Heavy Metal Universe webzine, be sure to read it.
APRIL 26, 2008: A disturbing trend is starting to emerge as the reviews to "Axis Of Evil" are coming in. It appears that this record, that only partially concerns itself with revealing the depth and breadth of intolerance within Islam, is itself being misrepresented by some reviewers as a purveyor of intolerance. That this would be a controversial record was always known to me. Perhaps, however, I underestimated the willingness of some people to use it to further their own agendas and distorted views of the world. Nevertheless it is going to make for a lot of fun. It certainly does appear that my "Crusader" outfit irritates all the right people! I have been adding reviews to the Reviews page, including the ones that portray me as an "agent of American intolerance." Read them. For many of them I have decided to have a little fun and have given a response to their allegations of intolerance.
APRIL 4, 2008: I have added a couple of new reviews to the reviews page. LORDS OF METAL from The Netherlands contributed one. You can click here to read it. Also we have one from WHITE METAL in Italy. You can click here to read it in Italian. If anyone can send me an English translation I will gladly post it.
MARCH 31, 2008: I have added the first interview for the new CD. It is with Andy from ANGELIC WARLORD. A very good and detailed one. Click here to read it. There is a new review from ChristianXtreme webzine. You can click here to read it. Also be sure to notice the banner I added at the bottom of the home page. I captured that from a Jihadist website. We aren't kidding folks, and neither are they! The danger is real and YOUR freedoms are on the line.
On February 3, 2008 Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi demanded action from the United Nations in accord with purely Islamic, Shari'a-based conceptions of "blasphemy":
...the governments of the world must be pressured to demand that the U.N. adopt a clear resolution or law that categorically prohibits affronts to prophets -- to the prophets of the Lord and his Messengers, to His holy books, and to the religious holy places.
Freedom of speech offends them. The U.N. just may be pathetic enough to acquiesce to the demands of Islam. International Blasphemy laws, of course, will not apply to any religion other than Islam. Offending Jesus can continue unabated!
MARCH 22, 2008: We have our first reviews of the new CD. The first one is from Angelic Warlord and is a rather good and very detailed one. You can click here to read it. The other one comes from our friends at Disagreement Online in Luxembourg. This CD, being a very personal statement with a strong expression of controversial issues, is going to meet with a lot of resistance. However, I am inclined to include some of these reviews on this site. Certainly Disagreement's review, though negative, is worthy of expression on this site. Let's be honest, most bands try every trick in the book to get someone to call them "threatening" and "offensive." That is, they try every trick except the one employed on "Axis of Evil"...telling the truth! There is much positive to be found in some criticism. Click here to read Disagreement's review.
FEBRUARY 29, 2008: The new CD is now up and listed at both Amazon.com and CDBaby.
FEBRUARY 24, 2008: The new Babylon Mystery Orchestra CD, "Axis Of Evil," is now officially available through this site. Amazon.com and CDBaby are also going to have it online imminently. Check out and see the new BMO merchandise of posters and the first ever BMO T-Shirts!
I have chosen to add the song "Crusader" to this and several other BMO music sites as an introduction to the new work. I have also added a new essay concerning the release. There will be another to follow soon.
There are those who will view the new CD as violating certain unwritten laws of "political correctness" in its' overt criticism of a religion other than "politically acceptable" Christianity. Be assured, this is intentional. Every effort has been made to be as offensive as possible whilst maintaining the intellectual integrity necessary to validate these statements against Islamic supremacism. Yet, contrary to Muslim' sentiments, Islam is not the center of the universe. It is merely one tool of many used to deceive and control. Islam along with Illuminist Enlightenment and the populist notions of Socialism all combine to make up the true "Axis of Evil." And they all answer to the same source...even if they CHOOSE not to believe it. I hope you all find the material challenging.
JANUARY 7, 2008: The new Babylon Mystery Orchestra CD has now been sent to the pressing plant for production. Check soon for a new song to be added to this site and the myspace site. The CD itself should be ready for release sometime in February. Here is the full track listing for the CD called "Axis Of Evil" 1. Annuit Coeptis 2. We Ride, You Die 3. DevilSpawn (Muhammad's Song) 4. Islam 5. God Given Right 6. Crusader 7. Diabolus Apocalypse 8. Illuminati 9. Novus Ordo Seclorum 10. Xenophobia 11. Martyr (The Patience Of The Saint) 12. Come Drink The Wrath 13. God Damn The Children Of The Beast.
OCTOBER 14, 2007: I have completed writing the text of the booklet for "Axis Of Evil" so everything is ready to send to the pressing plant at the first of the year. Stay tuned for more details about the CD. I have added a new essay to the "Essays" page so be sure and check it out.
