German synthrock act Antiage released the single “Leaving Babylon” on August 7, 2026. The song follows the band’s previous single “Zenith of Decay” and marks a shift in tone, from decay toward a fresh start.
“Leaving Babylon” is about the conscious decision to turn away from overwhelming noise. The single follows “Zenith of Decay”, released May 15, 2026, which Antiage described as a song about knowing when something tips over and choosing to stay in that state rather than looking for a way out or back.
