The song is the latest from his forthcoming album
Sebastian Bach has released a video for “(Hold On) To The Dream,” the latest single from his forthcoming album Child Within the Man, due May 10th on Reigning Phoenix Music. Bach penned the lyrics for the track and he and producer Elvis Baskette wrote the melody with the music created by Devin Bronson, Isaac Carpenter, and Baskette.
“If someone asked me to play the heaviest song I have ever recorded, in my 35-year career, I would play them ‘(Hold On) To The Dream,’” Bach says. “This song is an homage to two of my favorite things: classic metal of the ’70s and also yacht rock as well! Hence the new term yacht metal! I have never heard a song quite like ‘(Hold On) To The Dream’ where the crushing verse is combined with the luxurious chest-hair harmonies of the chorus. I have tried to incorporate every tone of my voice into this song. For those of you keeping score, I can tell you that my voice hits some of the highest notes of my career in ‘(Hold On) To The Dream!’ Hold on to your seats! Caution: this is a monster jam!”
The album was recorded in Orlando, Florida, and produced and mixed by Baskette, engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate, and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. Bach wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 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 artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by Bach’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk.
