War Ina Babylon is an album by Max Romeo and Lee Perry's backing band The Upsetters, released in 1976. Along with The Heptones' Party Time and Junior Murvin's Police and Thieves, this album can be seen as part of a Black Ark Lee "Scratch" Perry produced "holy trinity". Highlights include the moving "One Step Forward", "War Ina Babylon", the militant "Chase The Devil", and the "film noir" reggae of "Norman".
