Sebastian Bach is set to enchant the rock world with his latest solo venture, ‘Child Within the Man,’ slated for release on May 10. Accompanying the announcement is the drop of ‘Everybody Bleeds,’ the album’s second single.
This 11-track record marks Bach’s first full-length album since 2014’s ‘Give ‘Em Hell.’ It promises a rich tapestry of rock anthems and ballads, with collaborations from guitarists like John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi. Adding a personal touch, the album cover features artwork by the musician’s late father, painter David Bierk.
A Message From Bach
‘Child Within the Man’ is now up for preorder in various formats, including CD, cassette, digital, and a special double LP edition available in two colors. Bach said the following in a statement:
“I have been putting out records since the year 1989. Thank you for 35 years of Bach ‘n’ Roll, all leading up to ‘Child Within the Man!’ If you like the records I have put out in the past, I can guarantee that you will enjoy the new album. This is the kind of rock ‘n’ roll that keeps you young! Can’t wait for you all to crank up ‘Child Within the Man’ — a magical elixir to the fountain of Youth! Gone Wild! Forever! It’s all one big song! Turn it up!”
John 5, Stevens, and Orianthi not only perform but also co-write their tracks. Additional co-writes with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge make the album more notable, with ‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ and ‘To Live Again’ highlighted as collaborative gems.
Supporting Band And Tour Dates
Bach is backed by Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns on bass, and Jeremy Colson on drums, creating a lineup that underpins the album’s sonic landscape. The vocalist ignited anticipation for the album with the lead single, ‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ in December, setting the stage for a promotional tour across Latin and North America.
The rocker’s promotional tour, featuring a mix of solo performances and festival slots, kicks off internationally before moving to North America, starting May 10 in Jefferson, Louisiana. Fans were treated to a live rendition of ‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ for the first time during a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota.
