Destroy Babylon feature in the Jan ‘12 issue of New Hampshire Magazine, aka “The Pot Issue.” Coincidence? Hell no.
Close your eyes listening to this album and you can imagine what Led Zepellin might have sounded like if they started playing reggae.
Destroy Babylon’s extraordinary third record, Long Live the Vortex, is a concept album of sorts that brilliantly captures the tenor of our Wall Street bailout, Citizens United, crony capitalism, 1% versus 99% times. And it could arguably serve as a soundtrack for the masses who are slowly-but-surely awakening to the fact that the political structure (and judicial system) of the nation has been increasingly rigged over the past 30 years to respond almost exclusively to the demands and voracious greed of wealthy individuals and corporations, who in turn largely view the public as saps to manipulate, exploit, and fleece. In short, Long Live the Vortex is an odyssey through the disorienting, alarming, and oftentimes brutal landscape of an America in crisis—seemingly in the process of societal disintegration, really—but a sojourn that also reveals real hope for salvation through the decency and tenacity of its people who are willing to struggle for what is good and right.
