“Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day,” the title track from Babylon AD’s new studio album, will be released as the second single to radio. The first single, “Wrecking Machine”, appeared on numerous classic and new rock radio outlets in the United States, where it recently reached the Top 40 on the Mediabase classic rock radio charts. The single also appeared on the nationally syndicated show “Alice’s Attic” hosted by the legendary Alice Cooper and has received notable airplay, including major market tours by artists such as WDRV and WPJX in Chicago, KSAN in San Francisco, KSLX in Phoenix, WCXS in Detroit and KLPX in Tucson.
Speaking about the new single, singer Derek Davis shared: “While writing the music for the song “Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day,” I started thinking about what the concept was that I was going for. The song soon evolved into a story about a lost, drugged-out young woman seeking redemption and her long road to recovery. I wanted a different spin on the story and the lyrics and images came to mind when I came up with the lines: “Over the broken, crushed stones. Old bones, gladiators walked before you, you know what they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day!
It’s a classic tragic story set in the burning streets of Rome. Ancient historians claim that Emperor Nero was playing the violin while his city burned in flames. “I used this backstory to tell hers and also develop the video treatment that accompanies the song.”
