“Bang Go the Bells” by Babylon AD

"Bang Go the Bells" comes from Babylon A.D.'s self-titled debut, the 1989 album that introduced the American hard rock band, and it sits alongside "Hammer Swings Down" and "The Kid Goes Wild" as one of the record's metal hits; the last of those even landed in RoboCop 2.

Derek Davis, Ron Freschi and Robb Reid wrote it, and Simon Hanhart ran the whole studio operation himself, producing, recording and mixing the track. It hit the racks in September 1989, a loud calling card for a band still making its first impression.
