Sebastian Bach releases video for ‘Freedom’ – the latest track from his just-released “Child Within The Man” album

Author Benedetta Baldin - 17.5.2024

Sebastian Bach has today released a new video for Freedom,’ the latest track from his just-released and much-anticipated “Child Within The Man” album (Reigning Phoenix Music) – his first solo effort in 10 years. The new single by the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor features lyrics by Sebastian Bach, music by him and John 5 (who also guests on lead guitar) with melody contributions from the album’s producer Elvis Baskette. For the video, Bach teamed up with directors Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera (who directed the album’s three previous videos).

This is the third record in a row with John 5 writing and playing with me. The song ‘Freedom’ is an homage to my favorite instrument…the cowbell! Which the world needs plenty more of right now!”

From the opening clip of a hearse, the dark, spooky, gothic-themed Freedom clip takes viewers on a creepy journey with vampires, grave diggers, gargoyles, aliens and Sebastian rising from the dead (with a cowbell!), along with a sinister nightclub scene and a live band performance; be sure to stay tuned to the end for a special zombie guest star. Watch the Freedom video below. The song marks the fourth single from “Child Within The Man,” following ‘What Do I Got To Lose?,’ ‘Everybody Bleeds,’ and ‘(Hold On) To The Dream.’

“Child Within The Man” was recorded in Orlando, Florida; 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. “Child Within The Man” features guest appearances from John 5Steve 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 Colson(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. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” Sebastian says.

The album is available on CD (jewelcase), cassette and double LP in a variety of color options. Order your copy or stream it: https://sebastianbach.rpm.link/childwithinthemanPR

About Sebastian Bach

With an inimitable presence as loud as his instantly identifiable voice, Sebastian Bach has left a San Andreas Fault-size imprint on music, theatre, film, television, and culture. Moreover, his influence only continues to magnify. He has penned and voiced some of the most iconic anthems in rock history, crafting a catalogue highlighted by generational hits such as ‘18 And Life,’ ‘I Remember You,‘ ‘Youth Gone Wild,’ ‘Slave To The Grind,’ ‘Wasted Time,’ and ‘Monkey Business,’ to name a few. He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in “Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical” in addition to leading roles in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.” He has appeared in dozens of television series and films, ranging from “Trailer Park Boys” and “Robot Chicken” to “Spongebob Squarepants,” “The Masked Singer,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” Speaking to his versatility, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on “Gilmore Girls.”
