Sebastian Bach has today (May 18th) released a new video for Freedom, the latest track from his just-released and much-anticipated Child Within The Man (Reigning Phoenix Music) album—his first solo effort in 10 years. The new single by 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,” Sebastian says. “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.

I’ve liked all the songs that I’ve heard from this new album so far.
I also think that that Eddie Trunk guy at the beginning of the video is going to go places – great actor!
Eddie…LOL!! Too funny.
The video has a sense of humor reminding me of Tenacious D. John 5 and Brent Woods seem to be the go-to guitarists these days. Both are very good.
(If you’re into guitar, check out Matteo Mancuso)
Bach did a great job on this record! And I think he’s trying to re-establish his image in the videos. He’s smiling and having fun. Not sure what’s up with the robotic dance moves though haha
