Let Babylon Burn

🔥 THE SKY WAS NEVER ONE STAR — OUT IN 3 DAYS.

I was saving this song for album nine.

But I can’t stop listening to it, and I’m too damn excited to keep it to myself that long. So… plans changed. It’s coming out as a single.

“You don’t have to turn your wounds
into poetry today.”

There’s a lot of me in this song. I keep hitting replay, and now I’m counting down until you can hear it too.

Three days. Get your headphones ready. 🖤

Let Babylon Burn

Three songs. One uninterrupted journey.

“I Never Knew How to Pray”
“Death and Dresses”
“Scared and Still Moving”

A medley about doubt, mortality, fear, faith—and finding the courage to continue without pretending you are no longer afraid.

Let Babylon Burn

Well… this is a strange one. 😄

A British newspaper has reported that I’m secretly behind the AI artist Sienna Rose.

For the record: I’m not.

I have never created, owned, managed or received royalties from that project. An unauthorised release apparently used the Let Babylon Burn name as a collaborator, and that false metadata was mistaken for ownership.

I have formally requested a correction.

Although, if the reported £2,000 per day is supposed to be mine, somebody clearly forgot to inform my bank account. 😂

Let Babylon Burn

A small note before the next few releases.

It's strange thinking about how far Let Babylon Burn has travelled in a year.

Songs written in quiet rooms have somehow ended up in cars, kitchens, headphones and homes on the other side of the world.

I still haven't quite figured that one out.

Over the next few weeks, three albums will arrive:

Serendipity — August 21
Ordinary Miracles — September 7
Midnight Tears — September 25

Ordinary Miracles is especially close to me. Some of those songs have been quietly living here on YouTube for a while, and it felt right to finally give them a home together.

After that, I want to spend a little more time with the music that's already here — give some of these songs proper visuals, tell a few of the stories behind them, and perhaps let you a little further behind the curtain.

Which unfortunately means you may occasionally have to look at the pale Norwegian with no dreadlocks who has been hiding behind Let Babylon Burn. 😂

Sorry about that.

The music will still be the important part.

Always has been.

There's a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, and for once I'm not going to spoil all of it.

But I'm excited about where this is going.

Thank you for giving these strange little songs a life far beyond the room they started in.

See you August 21.

THE MAN BEHIND LET BABYLON BURN

For a long time I let the music speak for itself.

That was intentional.

Lately I've seen more and more people calling Let Babylon Burn "AI slop."

If that's your opinion, you're entitled to it.

But before you reduce years of work to two words, here's the truth.

Yes, I use AI.

No, I don't depend on it.

My process has always been mix of ai and me.

The ideas, the stories, the emotions, the lyrics, the direction, the countless rewrites, the production decisions... that's me.

AI is a tool.

Just like a camera doesn't make someone a photographer, and Photoshop doesn't make someone an artist.

The person behind the tool still matters.

For years I worked as a first responder in the ambulance service.

I've seen people take their first breath.

I've watched others take their last.

I've comforted families on the worst day of their lives.

I've witnessed addiction, heartbreak, violence, courage, sacrifice, and hope.

You don't walk away from twenty years of that unchanged.

Those experiences became my songs.

Not because I wanted to be famous.

Not because I wanted money.

Because after twenty years of trying to save lives with an ambulance, I found another way to reach people.

Music.

If you've ever found comfort in one of my songs...

If you've cried...

If you've decided to keep fighting because of a lyric...

Then that's worth more to me than any chart position or royalty statement.

People also ask why I stayed anonymous.

Simple.

The name Let Babylon Burn says enough.

It challenges people.

It questions things.

And over the last year I've received death threats, attempts to intimidate me, and more hatred than I ever imagined music could generate.

I'm Norwegian.

People who know Norway know how open public records are.

Finding someone's name or address isn't exactly difficult if that's your goal.

The difference is...

I don't live my life looking over my shoulder.

I'm not going to hide because anonymous people on the internet think fear should win.

So...

This is me.

Not because I owe anyone an explanation.

But because I wanted to thank the people who believed in the music before they knew the face.

To every independent artist reading this...

Use whatever tools help you create.

A guitar.

A piano.

A notebook.

A microphone.

AI.

None of those tools replace imagination.

None of them replace honesty.

None of them replace having something worth saying.

And one more thing...

I see too many people blaming AI because their music isn't getting heard.

No.

Bad music existed long before AI.

If people aren't listening, don't automatically blame AI, Spotify, YouTube, the algorithm, or the industry.

Look in the mirror first.

Ask yourself the hardest question an artist can ask:

"Would I honestly play this if it wasn't mine?"

If the answer is no...

Write another song.

Become a better songwriter.

Become a better storyteller.

Become undeniable.

The gaming community has had the best advice for years.

"Get good".

Nobody owes me an audience.

Nobody owes you one either.

We earn every listener.

One song at a time.

As for my own work...

My artist name is trademarked.

My songs are registered from the moment they're are released.

I defend my work because every creator deserves to own what they create.

Respect other artists.

Create your own path.

Build something you're proud of.

Don't copy someone else's journey.

The world doesn't need another version of somebody else.

It needs the best version of you.

Whether my music is made with a guitar, a piano, a microphone, or modern technology...

The heartbeat behind it has always been human.

Thank you to every single person who has listened, shared a song, left a comment, or found a little piece of themselves in the music.

You remind me why I started.

See you in the next song.

❤️ One year ago today, Battleground of Broken Hearts was released.

I honestly never imagined where this album would take me.

Over the past year it's travelled further than I ever could have dreamed, found listeners all over the world, reached charts I never thought possible, and most importantly... found a place in so many of your lives.

To celebrate its first anniversary, I've released Battleground of Broken Hearts (2026 Remastered).

The album features improved sound quality throughout, bringing new life to the songs while staying true to what made them special.

...and if you listen carefully, you might notice one track isn't quite the same anymore. 😉🎙️

More streaming links will become available soon as the release finishes rolling out across all major streaming services.

Thank you to every single person who has streamed a song, shared it with a friend, left a comment, or simply listened when you needed it most.

This album changed my life... and that's because of you.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Battleground of Broken Hearts. ❤️

Sometimes a song isn't just a song.

Sometimes it's a mirror.

I'm curious...

**What do you think this song is really about?**

Who is the little yellow bird?
What does the shiny stone represent?
And what do you think the ending means?

There are no right or wrong answers. I'd genuinely love to hear how you interpret it before I reveal what inspired me to write it.
