Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH recently spoke with Jon Wiederhorn at Yahoo Music about his new album, Give 'Em Hell, and his former band SKID ROW. An excerpt is available below:

When Sebastian Bach opens his mouth, one of two things happens: Either a flood of high-pitched melodies pour out to accompany one of his uncompromisingly multifaceted metal tunes; or he says something that inevitably makes someone angry.

"I can't help it," the 45-year-old solo artist and former Skid Row frontman tells Yahoo Music. "I don't censor what I say and I always end up in trouble, but I don't f---ing care. I go on my Twitter feed and I read things like (Jan. 24) was the 25th anniversary of the release date of the first Skid Row album, and Skid Row doesn't give a f---. I would love to do something to celebrate it, and my former bandmates are like, 'Nah, we're playing a bowling alley. We're happy. We don't care.'"

Eighteen years after Bach left Skid Row due to musical and personal differences, not being able to reunite and reignite the band's engine is still a thorn in his side. Not only is the band, which has featured vocalist Johnny Solinger for the last 14 years, uninterested in celebrating its beginnings, but the members are determined not to work with Bach onstage, for a boxed set or on a collection of previously unreleased material.

In a recent interview with Spotlight Report, Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan told a journalist that answering questions about the possibility of working with Bach again is "a waste of time."

"There's a lot of unreleased material sitting around collecting dust," Bach gripes. "The fans would love it, but I guess my band is allergic to cash. They're happy not being big. It's such an insult to the millions of people who dug our albums. It's like saying, 'We were just joking (back then). Happy anniversary!'"

Sebastian Bach will release his new solo album, Give Em Hell, on April 18th in Europe, and on April 22nd in North America, via Frontiers Records. Give Em Hell is the follow-up to 2011's Kicking & Screaming and was produced by Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, ROB ZOMBIE) and features some very special friends and guest stars, including none other than: Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES), and not one but two top class guitar players: John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON) and Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL). Rounding out the lineup on the album are Devin Bronson on guitars and Bobby Jarzombek (HALFORD, FATES WARNING) on drums.

The new song 'Hell Inside My Head' is available now via iTunes here. Check out Carl Begai's review of Give 'Em Hell at this location.

The cover for Give 'Em Hell was handled by Richard Villa. Bach stated recently: "Richard is an incredible artist and we have brainstormed some kick ass ideas that I cannot wait to execute. And exciting for the collectors out there, it looks like I will be incorporating another one of my father's paintings into this album design. My father painted the covers for Slave To The Grind, inside artwork for Subhuman Race, Angel Down, and 'Bring 'Em Bach Alive! as well. There is one specific image that is haunting to me that lends itself to the album title perfectly. We are also doing a crazy ass photo session that will be quite theatrical and fun to do. This album is going to knock you all out. I guarantee it."
