Neon Babylon
<a href="../neon-babylon/">
Ω
</a>
A mythologically-oriented musical ensemble of fluid membership and unclear origin. The group's musical style was marked by the juxtaposition between modern analog synthesizers and more traditional instrumentation such as strings, acoustic percussion, and harpsichord. Documentation of the group is limited to a handful of mono recordings and a series of VHS concert videos featuring
occult
imagery. Lyrically, the group focused largely on a grab bag of Illuminati-related subjects, including the
Silurian Hypothesis,
Saturn's Hexagon, and the significance of
Alpha Draconis, as well as the wider world of the ancient mythologies surrounding the Levant. Neon Babylon's activity often overlapped with that of the masked
Illuminati Quartet. As with the quartet, the visages of Neon Babylon members were most often shrouded, either with masks
1
or crude analog effects. Individual singers from the performance art collective
Shepherds of Apocrypha
were, at times, featured in various Neon Babylon materials, singing or sprechgesang-ing in both German and Latin.
1 The group's keyboardist(s) was/were often adorned in a large minotaur mask - a recurrent symbol in the group's somewhat haphazard mythos.
