Sebastian Bach, 57, recently discussed his future musical plans, including his desire to create a Christmas album, in a January 2026 interview with This Day in Metal.
The former Skid Row addressed questions about upcoming album releases and shared his vision for a potential Christmas record project.
Bach provided insight into his current priorities and long-term musical aspirations when asked about his future plans and whether fans can expect another album anytime soon.
“Well, no. Well, I 100% will make another record at some point, but my whole life has been claimed by you guys. You don’t want that right now for me. You want live shows. That’s what’s happening. We’re going on tour. That’s what we’re doing,” Bach said.
The musician then elaborated on his specific vision for a Christmas album. He revealed a more traditional approach than fans might expect, inspired by his choir boy roots in Peterborough, Ontario’s Anglican church.
“At some point in my life, I need to do a Christmas record. I love Christmas music and I know exactly the kind of Christmas record I would make. It’s not going to be jingle bells with electric guitars. It’s going to be a traditional piano organ-based record of vocals of songs that I did in the church when I was at Anglican Church. All Saints I think it was called. So that’s what I want. I need to do that at some point,” he continued.
Bach’s Christmas album plans reflect a departure from his typical hard rock sound. The concept draws instead from his early musical experiences in church choirs.
Parade reported that Bach has reiterated similar plans in previous interviews, emphasizing his desire to create a traditional Christmas choir album featuring his harmonies. The concept represents a significant shift from the heavy metal sound that made him famous with Skid Row in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Currently, Bach is prioritizing his live performance schedule over studio work. XS Rock noted that he is focusing on his 2026 North American tour titled “The Party Never Ends,” which begins February 26 in Highland, California. The tour will feature classic Skid Row hits alongside solo tracks from his recent album “Child Within the Man.”
The Christmas album concept showcases Bach’s versatility as a vocalist and his connection to his musical roots. His background as a choir boy in an Anglican church in Peterborough, Ontario, provides the foundation for this unexpected musical direction. This traditional approach contrasts sharply with the aggressive, guitar-driven sound that characterized his work with Skid Row and his solo career.
Bach’s comments indicate his current focus remains on live performances. He is keeping future recording projects as possibilities for later consideration. The Christmas album remains a long-term goal rather than an immediate priority, as he continues to tour and connect with fans through live shows.
