Sebastian Bach is known for his hard-rocking Skid Row hits such as “18 and Life” and “Youth Gone Wild,” solo tunes like the country-tinged “Battle With the Bottle,” and his searing covers of KISS and Queen classics, but there’s one genre of music he still wants to record. He just won’t do it right now.
In a January 2026 interview on theThis Day in Metal podcast, Bach, 57, confirmed that a Christmas album is in his future.
“At some point in my life, I need to do a Christmas record,” the iconic rocker shared. “I love Christmas music, and I know exactly the kind of Christmas record I would make. It’s not gonna be ‘Jingle Bells’ with electric guitars. It’s gonna be a traditional piano, organ-based record, vocals of songs I did in the church when I was in Peterborough, Ontario at the Anglican church. So that’s what I… I need to do that at some point."
Bach was also asked if he will be making a new album anytime soon.
“No,” he said. "I mean, I one hundred percent will make another record at some point, but my whole life has been claimed by you guys. You don’t want that right now for me. You want live shows. …That’s what’s happening, we’re going on tour, that’s what we’re doing.”
Bach reiterated his plans while speaking with Blabbermouth.net in a separate interview. “I’m just telling you: This planet Earth has claimed me to play shows. That's what I'm doing,” he said in January.
“I want to make another record," he added. "That's not something I take lightly. That's something that's very heavy to me, and I also really want to do a Christmas album sometime. I've always wanted to record a traditional Christmas choir album where I handle all the harmonies. That's something I have to do at some point."

Long before he was a hard rock icon, Bach was a choir boy at All Saints Anglican Church in Ontario, Canada. In an interview with NPR, he said his mom and aunt encouraged him to sing when he was a child.
“I joined the church choir when I was 8 years old,” he said before recalling a Christmas mass where he sang "Gloria in excelsis Deo."
“Anybody that remembers singing that hymn remembers this insane soprano harmony on that section,” he said. “And I can remember that song at Christmas with a packed congregation, a mass late at night, that snow falling in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. That little passage, that little harmony on that song, I remember just saying, ‘This is the most incredible feeling.’ When the whole choir would hit that part, it felt like we were flying.”

For now, fans can find Bach on a North American tour with Stitched Up Heart. Bach’s The Party Never Ends Tourruns from February through April, and the rocker has more live shows lined up through the fall of 2016.
Bach also recently released a three-minute cover of Ran Jam’s 1977 song “Black Betty” titled ”She Gets Me High.” The song features Bach along with Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Mick Mars, Travis Barker, and Duff McKagan.
