Sebastian Bach: New Album

Former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach has set “Kicking & Screaming” as the title of his new solo album, due on September 27 via Frontiers Records. The CD was produced by Bob Marlette and features young virtuosic guitarist Nick Sterling and drum pro Bobby Jarzombek. The follow-up to 2007′s “Angel Down” was mastered at Precision Mastering in Los Angeles with Tom Baker.

The “Kicking & Screaming” album cover will be created by artist Richard Villa. According to Sebastian, it will feature “the hottest model in the land” — presumably referring to his new girlfriend, 25-year-old model Minnie Gupta — “and reflect the lyrics as well as the brutality of the music. It’s gonna be rock ‘n’ roll to the 9th degree album — very heavy, cool, trippy and nightmare-ish.”

Bach previously stated about his new solo material, “This CD will follow along the lines of ‘Skid Row’, ‘Slave To The Grind’, ‘Subhuman Race’ and ‘Angel Down’. If you like rockin’ guitar riffs, high-energy songs and performances, deadly drums of doom, and ear-shattering screams, we got your rock right here!” He also described the songs as “heavy, interesting, classic sounding, modern sounding, completely rock ‘n’ roll — just how we like it!”

Sebastian in 2009 collaborated with Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta on several tracks for Bach’s new solo album, with Nick and Charlie Bellmore of the Connecticut band PHANTOMS assisting during the pre-production process. The singer has also written material with John 5.

Bach and his crew have been keeping busy playing selected tour dates nationwide, including recent appearances at major festivals M3 and Rocklahoma, and will continue to tour throughout the summer. Fans can expect Bach classics, as well as a sneak preview of material from the forthcoming album.
