“Fallen” the new album by WALLS OF BABYLON is released now by Wanikiya Record, available in physical format (CD Audio) and in digital format on all the best music stores worldwide, on label’s official store and on showcase within Crash Sound Distribution and also available on the official store in Japan!
“Fallen” is a concept album about society collapsing due to a hidden gland within the human brain, “The Switch of God”. It generates a hormone shutting down rationality, releasing humans’ most brutal and feral impulses.
This overwhelming plague is called “The Fall”: the progressive annihilation of individualism, with humanity slowly turning into a productive chain, along with the exponential increase of carbon dioxide. Extinction is the last hope, with all mankind quickly turning into a self devouring cancer.
Band stated: Walls of Babilon is a project born at the end of 2013 and its purpose is to find a place in the metal scene with a sound mixed by etereogenic influences of its members: trash, black, punk rock, scandinavian death following the same guideline of the power and progressive metal. In 2015 was released “ the Dark Embrace”, the first work of the band, which provide dark sounds and catchy chorus to impress the features of the group from the beginning. 2018 was the year of the First international album “A Portrait of Memories” coming out thanks to Revalve Records. It’s a work that highlight a darker sound than the previous one but with an higher complexity of songwriting showing the path of growth of the band. The core of this project is contemporary to say the least: in 2020 was born “Fallen” which streches in a wide variety of genres between classic and progressive rock.

Blues Matters Magazine describes “Fade Away” as “another gorgeous ballad lamenting lost love, with the unexpected addition of heart wrenching cello taking it to another level.”
“Fade Away is a song I wrote about my mom who we lost in 2013. It’s a song about missing her, not being able to talk to her and if I was able to talk to her now, the advice she would give me and what would she say.” – Joanne Shaw Taylor
The album Nobody’s Fool will release worldwide on Joe Bonamassa’sKTBA Records on Friday, October 28th. The album is available to pre-order from https://bit.ly/ordernobodysfool.
The new album, recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, is produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith and features Joe Bonamassa on “Won’t Be Fooled Again,” guitarist Carmen Vandenberg (Bones UK) on “Figure It Out,” cellist Tina Guo on “Fade Away” and music legend Dave Stewart on a cover of the Eurythmics classic “Missionary Man.”
“Nobody’s Fool just might be her best album yet.” – Blues Matters
“This is top-shelf blues on all levels that also packs huge crossover potential. Be the first one on your block to hear it!” – Rock and Blues Muse
“Joanne Shaw Taylor continues her recent run of killer albums with a stunning new studio collection that is guaranteed to further widen her audience beyond the confines of blues rock.” – Blues in Britain
“With masses of crossover appeal, Nobody’s Fool has the potential to be huge. 13 years after her debut album she might well find herself the next overnight sensation.” – Record Collector
Joanne as born and raised in the UK and was discovered at the age of 16 by music icon Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. Right from the get-go, Joanne’s incredible guitar playing, and distinctive sultry vocals set her apart from the rest of the crowd.
Nobody’s Fool is her most personal album to date. Joanne’s writing lays bare love, loss, and the desire to be free of the past through the vessel of catchy hooks and infectious guitar riffs.
Her vocal style, writing prowess and guitar skills take the listener on a journey into the wasteland of love and back into the light of hope and redemption. Nobody’s Fool takes Joanne into new territory that can be described as retro pop with a modern flare, yet still encompasses the emotion of her blues roots.
“The title track opens the album and sets the mood with JST’s signature husky, soulful vocals embellished with some powerful guitar lines,” says Guitarist Magazine.
Joanne wrote all the songs on the album except “Missionary Man,” which is written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.
Joanne co-wrote “New Love” with Josh Smith, Calvin Turner, and Dylan Altman, “Then There’s You” with James House, “Fade Away” with Sharon Corbitt, and “The Leaving Kind” co-written with Joe Bonamassa, Leslie Satcher, and Beth Nielsen-Chapman (Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt).
