Plagues of Babylon

2014 release, the 11th studio album from the American Metal band, their first to feature bassist Luke Appleton and drummer Raphael Saini. Plagues Of Babylon is the long-awaited follow-up to their 2011 album Dystopia. Guitarist Jon Schaffer says: ''It's a bit of a different thing for us, because it's half of a concept and the other half is [standalone] tracks. Musically, I think it's just another step in the right direction. It's really heavy, it's very melodic. It has a really epic feeling.''
