Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH is featured in a new interview with UK-based TBFM Online, conducted at the Hard Rock Hell festival in Wales. An excerpt is available below:

TBFM: Late 2011, Kicking & Screaming came out; how well has that done?

Bach: "People love it! I play the songs in concert right next to the SKID ROW songs and they stick together. I think I’ve proven you know with Skid Row, Slave To The Grind, Sub-Human Race, Beside Ourselves, Bring em Bach Alive, Angel Down, Kicking & Screaming, the fans know I make good fucking albums (laughs). I’ve made a lot of em now! When I get excited about a song, it’s a real excitement. It’s not fake, and I can’t fake that feeling. If a songwriter writes a song with me and I don’t like it, I cant lie to him and say 'Oh, this is great.' I either love it or I can’t sing it. I cant sing a song that I don’t love."

TBFM: You don’t feel it?

Bach: "I’ve tried to, but... in the old band, I would come up with something that I wouldn’t be into, and I’d go up to the mic and try to be a good guy and one of the team, and I would start singing and then my mouth would just shut (laughs) and everyone would go 'What the fuck dude?' I don’t know what to tell you – I can’t pretend to rock. I have to love the music. I didn’t get into this business to release music that I don’t like. I got into this business to create music that I fucking love and I wanna grab you by the collar and go 'Listen to this!' (laughs)."

TBFM: How hard do you find it, with radio stations and the like, to get your new stuff heard? Everyone likes to play old Skid Row tracks that everyone knows...

Bach: "Well, I just keep my head down. I don’t bother like… the video for the song 'Kicking & Screaming' is over a million plays on Youtube. A million plays is a million plays, and you cant fucking argue with that! I mean how many people is that? It’s a million fucking people! So I’m lucky you know, I just keep my fucking head down you know. I don’t say 'Oh, what's everyone else doing?' I don’t give a shit what anyone is doing. I have one life, and I’ve been doing this all my life, and just like RONNIE JAMES DIO, I will do this when I’m 63, god-willing, if I make it that far! But I am that kind of guy, I will be singing '18 And Life', hitting the scream, god-willing, when I’m fucking in my 60?s, coz I can do it!"

Bach's new CD/DVD package, ABachalypse Now, has now been set for release on March 22nd in Europe and March 26th in North America via Frontiers Records.

The ABachalypse Now Ultimate CD/DVD Edition includes never-before-seen footage from this year’s Graspop Festival in Belgium, the full never-before-seen Hellfest set from France and the fully-remixed and remastered Nokia show from Los Angeles (originally broadcast on AXS TV), as well as bonus music videos. The DVD contains a running time of nearly 160 minutes.

ABachalypse Now will be available in two configurations: the Ultimate CD/DVD Edition (2 CDs + DVD) and a standalone DVD.

Bach’s latest album, Kicking & Screaming, was produced by Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, ATREYU) and debuted in the Top 75 of the Billboard Top 200 Album chart and received rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

Sebastian Bach has sold in excess of 20 million records worldwide as lead singer with 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 Christ Superstar), and has appeared regularly on MTV and VH1.
