Info for Babylon

Time travel to the early 90s: Lynch Mob are known for their energetic, guitar-driven hard rock that combines elements of classic rock, blues and metal with a penchant for improvisation. In addition to renowned guitarist and band founder George Lynch (The End Machine, The Banishment, ex-Dokken), singer Gabriel Colón, bassist Jaron Gulino (Tantric, Heavens Edge) and drummer Jimmy Danda (ex-Bulletboys) are featured on the new Lynch Mob album.

"Babylon" is Lynch Mob's eighth studio album overall and their first since 2017's "The Brotherhood".

"Since the first line-up in 1989 with Oni Logan, Mick Brown, Anthony Esposito and myself, there have been so many iterations of Lynch Mob. Putting Lynch Mob together was just an extension of what I had always strived for in a band: the best musicians possible, chemistry and brotherhood. My bands weren't just my best friends, they were my family. When we come together and work hard and fight together, we create a bond that lasts a lifetime. I think that's what I love most about my musical journey: making music in the studio, getting on stage and sharing that bond through music with my friends. Thank you to everyone who has been in my band. I really feel like it's ours," Lynch says.

Jaron Gulino from New Jersey brings the attitude and energy of the East Coast to Lynch Mob. He has enjoyed a long career of success as a bassist in various bands, most notably the post-grunge rock band Tantric. Gulino achieved chart-topping success with several of Tantric's releases and has performed on many high-profile tours and events with numerous other acts. He is also currently the bassist for Philadelphia hard rockers Heavens Edge.

His bandmate and partner in crime in the rhythm section is none other than the original Bulletboys drummer Jimmy D'anda, who is known for his ability to add a fantastic groove element while maintaining the powerful hard rock atmosphere of Lynch Mob.

Gabriel Colón is a Puerto Rican singer who began his career with a band called Fast Taker. Since then he has demonstrated his wide range of vocal talent with many rock bands including Gothic Knights, Culprit, White Wizzard and Rowan Robertson. Gabriel is a true talent and fits perfectly in the footsteps of his extremely talented predecessors in Lynch Mob.

George Lynch
When George Lynch joined Dokken in the early 1980’s, success came very quickly. As history proves, much of the band’s album sales and credibility is the result of George Lynch’s guitar abilities and songwriting. With Dokken, Lynch recorded five albums from 1983 to 1988, all of which did remarkably well in the United States, Europe and Asia. This worldwide success made George Lynch one of the most influential rock guitarists in modern music, even earning the band a Grammy nomination in 1989 for Best Rock Instrumental. 1989 was also the year the George parted ways with Dokken and began the new decade with a different approach…enter the Lynch Mob. By the early 1990s George had become a marquee guitar hero throughout the world. As a result, working with the Lynch Mob was a highly scrutinized and anticipated project. In just three years, the Lynch Mob released two records and hit the road on two worldwide tours. After the second tour’s completion, Lynch took hiatus and retreated to the studio to craft his first solo recordings.

“Sacred Groove,” Lynch’s first solo endeavor was released in 1993. For the first time in his career, he was able to display a broader assort- ment of musical and guitar styles. The “Sacred Groove” album clearly established Lynch as an eclectic musician with a volume of eccentric work. Having satisfied this endeavor, George Lynch took several years off to spend time with his children and enjoy life in Arizona. That was until a call from an old friend came in 1994. Following his departure, Dokken had reformed without the use of George Lynch, but when the record company refused to release a new Dokken record without Lynch, phone calls were made in late 1994. Lynch came in to fulfill the requests of the record company and round two with the band began. Soon to follow were two more Dokken records and three more years of touring the globe.

By 1998, Lynch finished his commitment with Dokken and set out to work with the Lynch Mob. This resulted in “Smoke This”; an album that featured the culmination of his playing styles, but with a new approach. The 1999 tour that followed bought George’s playing to a new audience and resulted in a renewed interest in the band and George Lynch’s influence. With new confidence, George began working with former Dokken bandmate Jeff Pilson on what was to become a lengthy album titled “Wicked Underground”, which was completed under the name LP (Lynch / Pilson) and delivered to stores in April 2003.

Also in 2003, Lynch began reworking the sound of earlier Lynch Mob and Dokken material. To complete this task, George re-assembled Mob band members Robert Mason and Anthony Esposito along with Michael Frowein on drums. Together, they reinvented the spirit and fire of early Lynch compositions onto an album titled “Revolution” which was also released in 2003. The guitar work on both “Wicked Underground” and “Revolution” demonstrated Lynch’s consistency with his signature sound while balancing a more experimental side.

In 2012 George released 3 successful albums via RatPak Records, “Legacy” an all instrumental EP, Lynch Mob “Sound Mountain Sessions” and T&N “Slave To The Empire” that featured original Dokken members Jeff Pilson and Mick Brown along with a host of other guest singers including Sebastian Bach, Tim “Ripper” Owens, dUg Pinnick and Warrant singer Robert Mason) & the album features remakes of 5 classic Dokken songs and 7 new original songs. In 2014 George released Lynch Mob “Unplugged – Live From Sugar Hill Studios” (Rat Pak Records) an all-acoustic performance of their classic hits. In 2013 George formed KXM a super-group trio that featured King’s X front man dUg Pinnick and Korn drummer Ray Luzier. Their debut album released in March on Rat Pak Records and landed #31 on the Billboard top 200. Later that year in December, George hit #6 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart with the critically acclaimed Lynch Mob “Sun Red Sun” (also on Rat Pak Records) that featured Oni Logan, Robbie Crane and Scot Coogan. The most notable is his endorsement with ESP Guitars. ESP has held George as their highest profiled endorser for close to 20 years. Electric guitar pickup guru Seymour Duncan has also honored George with his own signature series pickup called the “Screamin’ Demon.” Now a highly regarded standard in the guitar world, the “Screamin’ Demon” reigns as one of Seymour Duncan’s most popular items to date. George also conceived the design for a triple amp selector switching system called the “Tripler” which is manufactured by Morley. American Recording Technology manufactures and distributes the George Lynch Signature guitar, patch and speaker cables. In 2005, Randall Amplifiers revealed a new George Lynch modular amp called the “Lynch Box.” Also of note, George Lynch and Robert Keeley have developed the Lynch Time Machine, a unique and powerful effect unit that is gaining a lot of interest and momentum within the guitar industry. The past few years, 2015-2018 have seen some of George Lynch’s most prolific recording projects, including KXM with DuG Pinnick of King’s X and Ray Luzier of Korn, Shadow Nation, an incredible film journey into the history and plight of Native American life, Lynch Mob, Ultraphonix with Corey Glover of Living Colour, drummer Chris Moore and bassist Pancho Tomaselli of War. When George is not recording, writing or touring, he’s creating incredible collector’s art guitars under his Mr. Scary Guitars brand.
