Former Skid Row singer eyes spring release for ABachalypse Now
 |
| Sebastian Bach 2012 |
One of the wildest front men in heavy metal history simply loves
the smell of napalm in the morning, and we’ll all get a good whiff of it on the
upcoming Sebastian Bach DVD/live CD package that bears the title ABachalypse Now.
Due out on Frontiers Records in spring of 2013, this journey into
Bach’s heart of darkness will include never-before-seen footage from Bach’s fiery
performances at this year’s GrasPop Festival in Belgium and his Hellfest set
from France, plus the fully remixed and remastered Club Nokia show from Los
Angeles that was broadcast on AXS TV this fall. A full track listing and table of
contents for the release has yet to be finalized.
“I am so excited for all of you to witness and experience ABachalypse
Now,” says Bach. “We have included three recent concerts and the footage is
totally kickass! It’s remixed and remastered for full audio and video quality.
The performances and energy of the crowds are killer throughout the DVD and you
really feel like you are at the shows. Prepare yourselves for the coming
ABachalypse – now!”
Sure to feature tracks of his latest album, Kicking & Screaming, this collection will certainly have a
fresh feel to it, since the concert footage and audio is culled from very
recent performances. Kicking & Screaming was produced by Bob Marlette, known
also for his work with Black Sabbath, Shinedown, Atreyu, and Filter. The album,
which debuted in the Top 75 of the Billboard Top 200, received strong reviews,
with Outburn stating, “Sebastian Bach delivers a balls out gang of mountainous
hooks, titanic grooves and straight down the middle hard rock", and Revolver
gushing, “Bach's voice is in particularly fine form on Kicking & Screaming, boasting more color and range than most...”
Revolver went one step further in naming Bach one of the 100 greatest living
rock stars.
Sebastian Bach has sold in excess of 20 million records worldwide
as lead singer with his former band, Skid Row and as a solo artist. Far from
just being a multi-platinum recording artist, the singer/songwriter/actor/entertainer
has expanded his career over the past decade to include episodic television
with a 5-season recurring role on the CW's hit series "Gilmore
Girls", starring roles on Broadway ("Jekyll & Hyde",
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show") and national touring companies
("Jesus Chris Superstar"), and has appeared regularly on MTV and VH1.
