SEBASTIAN BACH Will Aim For BLACK SABBATH's '13' Kind Of Production On His Next Solo Album

Episode 272 of the “Iron City Rocks” podcast (web site) features an interview with former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

Speaking about his plans to record the follow-up to last year’s “Give ‘Em Hell” album, Bach said: “Each one of my solo records pretty much sold exactly the same amount. Like, they even… on The Billboard 200 chart, one of them charted at 69, one charted at 70, one charted at 71. It’s, like, crazy.

“For my next record, which I will do some day, it’s gonna be, I think, different than the last three albums I did. In my heart, what I would love is to have an album of mine that sounded like a ’70s album. What I mean [by that] is recording it in a way that… Like, when I listen to ‘Women And Children First’ by VAN HALEN, the guitar’s all the way on the left, and the vocals are in the middle, with the drums who knows where, and it’s just very different sounding, recording-wise, than the way albums are made today. So I think the next time I make an album, that’s really what I’m gonna be going for.”

He continued: “BLACK SABBATH‘s ’13’ sounds like a ’70s BLACK SABBATH album, as much as it could in 2014. So whatever the fuck they were doing, I just would love to have an album of mine that sounds like that.”

“I love ‘Give ‘Em Hell’… ‘Give ‘Em Hell’ is like ‘Star Wars’; it’s, like, ‘Holy shit!’ I mean, it’s a very modern-sounding record. And when it really got that sound was when it went to mastering with Tom Baker; he made it sound so fucking ‘spacey,’ and I totally love it. But my taste, as a fan, a rock fan, the next one I do, I’m gonna be going for, like… If I could have a BLACK SABBATH ’13’ kind of production, that’s what I’ll be looking for.”

Bach is continuing to tour in support of his “Give ‘Em Hell”, which sold around 4,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 72 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Bach‘s previous CD, “Kicking & Screaming”, opened with 6,600 units back in October 2011 to land at No. 73.

The singer’s 2007 effort, “Angel Down”, registered a first-week tally of 6,400 back to enter the chart at No. 190.

“Give ‘Em Hell” was released on April 22, 2014 via Frontiers Records.

As previously reported, Dey Street Books (formerly It Books), an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, has set a January 19, 2016 release date for Bach‘s much-anticipated autobiography, “18 And Life On Skid Row”.
