MIKE LEPOND’S SILENT ASSASSINS will release their anticipated new full-length, Whore Of Babylon, via Silver Lining Music on June 26th.
Forging a union between the mighty worlds of heavy metal and ancient history, Whore Of Babylon serves as the band’s third studio album and is a no-holds barred, gauntlet-thrown, true heavy metal mission led by LEPOND, known worldwide as one of the foremost bass virtuosos in heavy metal music and a member of progressive metal band Symphony X.
In advance of the record’s release, LEPOND is pleased to unveil a lyric video for “Ides of March” noting of the heroic track, “Bang your head to the gallop of Julius Caesar, as he rides for the glory of Rome. Scream the chorus loud and proud for the glory of heavy metal!”
Whore Of Babylon was recorded between various tours with Symphony X in Symphony X guitarist Michael Romeo’s home studio. LEPOND also plays all rhythm guitars, while the core of SILENT ASSASSINS – vocalist Alan Tecchio and guitarist Lance Barnewold – remains the same. From the scintillating fury of “Dracul Son” to the baroque mystery of the title track, with Whore Of Babylon LEPOND has written and produced the sort of album that traditional metalheads have been dreaming of. Amidst the furious aural assault, LEPOND also marches through the tales of some of history’s most fascinating and brutal characters.
MIKE LEPOND’S SILENT ASSASSINS’ Whore Of Babylon will be released on CD and digital formats. D2C bundles are also available. For preorders, go to THIS LOCATION.
