Babylon Whores

Deathrock band from Helsinki, Finland. Babylon Whores was founded in 1994 by vocalist Ike Vil and guitarist Ewo Meichem. Band's early works were heavily punk influenced, but their style grew heavier, darker, more varied and complex with each release. The group released three full length albums and remained active until mid 2000's when they started to become less active and eventually withdrew on indefinite hiatus. After this they have made few occasional live appearances (last one in 2007), usually under pseudonym such as Whores of Babylon, or Babylon Horse. Final line-up: Ike Vil (Ilkka Salmenpohja) - Vocals (1994–2007) Pete Liha (Petri Mukkala) - Drums (1994–1995, 1998–2007) Antti Litmanen - Guitar (1995–2007) Daniel Stuka (Taneli Nyholm) - Bass (1999–2007) Mr. Boa (Aki Martinkauppi) - Guitar (2002–2007) Former members have since been most active in [a551213], [a775197] (Antti Litmanen) and [a3648729] (Ike Vil).
