Babylon Whores was a death rock/metal band from Finland, founded in 1994 by vocalist Ike Vil and guitarist Ewo Meichem.
Their early works were heavily punk influenced, but their style grew heavier and darker with each release,
often compared to such bands as Danzig and Mana Mana.
The Whores' lyrics have always been interesting with their themes generally lying in the field of mysticism and occultism.
The group released two singles, three EPs and three 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.
Former members have since been most active in Arktau Eos, Mana Mana (Antti Litmanen), Sleep Of Monsters (Ike Vil).
