Sebastian Bach confirms 'Child Within the Man' album

The project will be released on May 10th

Sebastian Bach will release his new album, Child Within the Man, on May 10th via Reigning Phoenix Music. The 11-track project was recorded in Orlando, Florida and produced and mixed by Elvis Baskette. Bach wrote or co-wrote all the album’s tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals.

The album features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with Bach—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. The album will be available on CD, cassette, and 2 LP in a variety of color options.

This week will also mark the release of Bach’s first-ever lyric performance video for the album’s “Everybody Bleeds.” The song addresses the universal truths of pain with such lines as “Everybody bleeds/Everybody burns/Everybody drowns…”

“I have been putting out records since the year 1989,” Bach says. “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!”

The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by Bach’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” Bach says.

“RPM Records has provided me with the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll fantasy dream come true…to make my ultimate rock ‘n’ roll record!” Bach shares. “With the team of players and production on this album, I can honestly say we have made the best record that we could possibly make! The packaging is of the highest standard in every way. The vinyl, CD, and cassette formats all have been made to exact specifications! The 45 RPM double gatefold sleeve vinyl editions come in three eco-formats which are the highest standard of vinyl sound. Plus multi-colored variations including a Glow in the Dark special for all you rock collectors out there!”

In advance of the album’s release, Bach will hit the road in 2024 for an international tour with dates in Latin and North America. The What Do I Got To Lose? Tour is a mix of solo gigs and festival appearances that kicks off with an international run of performances in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile before North American shows in the US and Mexico. The stateside tour gets underway May 10th in Jefferson, LA before wrapping Juneh 29t in San Diego, CA.

The album’s first single “What Do I Got To Lose?” continues to build momentum at rock radio, trending in the top 40 on the Mediabase’s Active Rock Daily spin chart. It was co-written by Bach, Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash), and Elvis Baskette (Mammoth WVH, Slash), the latter of whom also served as the track’s producer.
