Babylon A.D. is the debut album by the American hard rock band of the same name, released in 1989. It contains the metal hits "Bang Go The Bells", "Hammer Swings Down" and "The Kid Goes Wild" which was also featured in the film RoboCop 2. In the music video for "The Kid Goes Wild", Robo-Cop is featured targeting the band, much like in the video for the Guns N' Roses song "You Could Be Mine", in which the Terminator is targeting Guns N' Roses.
