Sebastian‘s latest solo album, “Child Within The Man”, came out in May 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
2024 was a remarkable year for the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star and actor. “Child Within The Man” — his first album in more than 10 years — was well-received, with Associated Press saying “…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever,” while Ultimate Classic Rock noted: “Bach‘s voice has lost none of its rage or range, even in the highest registers…” In addition, the album’s “(Hold On) To The Dream” track was included in Consequence‘s “30 Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs Of 2024” which described the song as “…a late-career masterpiece from the former SKID ROW singer. Baz hits some of the highest notes of his career on the sweeping ballad, an inspiring anthem about perseverance.”
On the touring front, Sebastian performed a record 91 shows in 2024. The dates included two successful North American tours — one around the release of the album, followed by another leg of fall shows — and a series of overseas appearances just before the album’s release.
In January, Sebastian was back on TV when he appeared on Food Network‘s “Worst Cooks In America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains”. In addition, last June Sebastian was the subject of an A&E “Biography: Rock Legends” special. This follows his 2023 appearance as “Tiki” on Fox‘s “The Masked Singer”.
“Child Within The Man” has yielded the following singles/videos, all of which have impacted the rock charts: “Freedom”, “What Do I Got To Lose?”, “Everybody Bleeds” and “(Hold On) To The Dream” (along with the “(Hold On) To The Dream” alternate video),“Future Of Youth” and “To Live Again”.
“Child Within The Man” was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Michael “Elvis” Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate and mastered by Robert Ludwig of Gateway Mastering. Bach wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals.
“Child Within The Man” features guest appearances from John 5 (MÖTLEY CRÜE, ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON),Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL) and Orianthi (ALICE COOPER, MICHAEL JACKSON) — who all co-wrote their respective tracks with Bach — and two tracks co-written with ALTER BRIDGE‘s Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again”). Devin Bronson (guitars),Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Colson (drums) round out the players on the album.
Prior to “Child Within The Man”‘s arrival, Bach hadn’t released a full-length disc since “Give ‘Em Hell”, which came out in March 2014.
