OAKLAND, CA (August 4, 2025) — Veteran hard rockers Babylon A.D. have officially dropped the title track and first single from their upcoming album, When The World Stops, accompanied by a visually-charged music video. Set for CD release on September 1st via Kivel Records, with digital platforms to follow in October, the album is already generating buzz with its apocalyptic energy and sonic punch.

A Powerful Return to Form

The new track, 'When The World Stops,' is an apocalyptic love story told through gritty riffs and emotionally intense lyricism. Vocalist Derek Davis calls it “a mini-movie,” and it’s easy to see why. The single showcases the band’s signature high-octane energy and razor-sharp storytelling, delivering a song that’s both haunting and deeply human.

“This track I believe really captures the visual I was trying to create… It’s a 100 percent Babylon A.D. track that I’m sure fans will love.” – Derek Davis
