Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach is collaborating with ROB ZOMBIE/ex-MARILYN MANSON guitarist John 5 on music for Bach's next solo album.

Says Sebastian: "People really got off on the [John 5-co-penned] track 'TunnelVision' from [Bach's last solo CD] 'Kicking & Screaming'. Well I am happy to report that once again I will be teaming up with Jonn 5 on new songs for the next album. We are both lookng forward to it! Along with [songwriting collaborations with] Steve Stevens [BILLY IDOL] and [Bach's new guitarist] Jeff George, there is going to be some superior axe shredding going on the new disc! Coming your way SOON!"

Bach's brand new CD/DVD package, "ABachalypse Now", will be released in North America on March 26 via Frontiers Records. The "ABachalypse Now" Ultimate CD/DVD Edition includes never-before-seen footage from last year's Graspop Metal Meeting festival in Dessel, 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.

According to Sebastian, "ABachalypse Now" will include "special guest appearances by Jinxx from BLACK VEIL BRIDES, Roy Z (HALFORD), and Brent Woods (VINCE NEIL)."
