WALLS OF BABYLON’s Highly Anticipated New Album “Aeons Apart” Out Now

The moment has finally arrived.
Yesterday, January 9th, 2026, WALLS OF BABYLON officially released their new album “Aeons Apart”, marking a crucial turning point in the band’s career and opening a powerful, mature, and deeply ambitious new chapter in their musical journey.

After the devastating impact of “Fallen” (Wanikiya Record)—the album that established Walls of Babylon on the international metal scene thanks to its dark and visionary concept—the band returns with a work that is not merely an evolution, but a true artistic statement.

“AEONS APART”: A JOURNEY BEYOND TIME, BEYOND MAN
Aeons Apart is an album that digs deep, both musically and conceptually. The title itself evokes temporal distances, inner fractures, eras that drift apart and collide. It tells the story of a fragmented humanity, suspended between memory, awareness, and loss—between what has been and what can never be again.

Musically, Walls of Babylon push their identity toward new horizons, maintaining a solid power progressive metal foundation while enriching it with:

more intricate structures
epic and dark atmospheres
modern, cinematic arrangements
even more mature and conscious songwriting

The result is a massive, dynamic, and immersive album, capable of shifting from sheer metal aggression to introspective, solemn passages charged with emotional tension.

A MATURE SOUND, A DEFINITIVE VISION
If “Fallen” represented the collapse of humanity, “Aeons Apart” explores its consequences: isolation, distance, awareness, and the cyclical nature of time. Each track is a piece of a larger mosaic, designed to be experienced as a complete journey from beginning to end.

The production is modern, powerful, and detailed, enhancing every nuance:

sharp, monumental riffs
solid and precise rhythm sections
intense, expressive vocal lines filled with pathos

OVER TEN YEARS IN THE SCENE, STRONGER THAN EVER
Formed at the end of 2013, Walls of Babylon have built a coherent and recognizable path over time, driven by dedication, research, and constant growth.

Their discography tells a clear and determined evolution:

2015 – The Dark Embrace: a dark and melodic debut laying the foundations of their style.
2018 – A Portrait Of Memories (Revalve Records): the first international step, with a more complex and structured sound.
2020 – Fallen (Wanikiya Record): the concept album that definitively established the band.
2026 – Aeons Apart (Wanikiya Record): full artistic maturity.
