SEBASTION BACH: COMMENTS ON THE USA MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Canadian/American  former SKID ROW vocalist SEBASTION BACH has commented on the U.S.A.'s midterm elections. 

SEBASTION BACH unleashed his solo release "CHILD WITHIN THE MAN", 5/10/2024 via REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC. 

FROM SEBASTION BACH: 

Good Morning America!! How are ya???

For the first time I can remember in years, it actually felt good to wake up in the USA this morning. There is hope in the air

Last night we all proved that we are tired of being the divided states of America. Last night we proved that we all miss the United States of America.

It felt good to wake up for once on the right side of the bed.

It felt really good to wake up on the right side of history well most of us did anyways

Back during the pandemic, when a reality TV host refused to believe in Science, way back in the year 2020 or 2021 I wrote a song with my friends Orianthi and Devin Bronson called Future Of Youth. The song appeared on my last record #ChildWithintheMan. Little did I realize I wrote the song Future of Youth about last night.

I don’t think last night was Red versus Blue as much as Right versus Wrong. Of course I voted.

I voted against ICE.

I voted against data centers.

I voted against AI which I completely hate.

I voted for my country of Canada not getting fcked around by a bully.

I voted for Lake Ontario over Lake America

I voted for the Gulf of Mexico not the Gulf of Oligarchy

I voted against the right of some old man who for some reason feels the need to own assault weapons because I believe a child’s right to go to school and be safe is more important than the right of an adult to own an assault weapon.

I voted against California falling into the ocean & New York City going underwater due to ignorant polititians ignoring climate change like complete fools.

I voted for the Future of Youth. Right showed up over wrong last night

There’s Only One Side When the One Side Is Hate.

I just can’t take it, you know I had enough

Say I should fake it? I say alienate ‘em

I try and hide it, my contempt for a shill

Grifter, misleader, on a campaign to kill

Ain’t nothin stand to reason

Ain’t nothin more to say

Tell me don’t stoke the fire

Tell me the truth, not

FROM CHRIS KONTOS: 

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

*STATEMENT FROM CHRIS KONTOS REGARDING DEPARTURE FROM FORBIDDEN*

This does not come easy for me. I have been trying to not have to do this and resolve many issues with Forbidden for quite some time now.

I have expressed my concerns to the band members as well as our management, the legal team and accounting. Financial integrity, a lack of transparency of accounting, ongoing business decisions I did not agree with, or was not made aware of or told about till after the fact resulting in conflicts with the band. These issues have become irreconcilable.

I have decided that

I can no longer continue as a part of the band.

I am stepping down as the drummer for Forbidden effective immediately.

I wish the band all the best moving forward.

I am incredibly proud of the music we created together including the new album and videos. I have never worked harder on a project in my life. I put my heart and soul into every bit of the work. I'm truly grateful to the fans for nearly four years of incredible support.

I want to thank BLKIIBLK Records as well as everyone that helped the band over my time in Forbidden. This includes past band members, road crew, sound engineers, tour management, production companies and promoters. I'm very grateful and have a ton of appreciation and gratitude for you all. You know who you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm looking forward to what life has to offer moving forward. New opportunities and adventures.

I respectfully ask for privacy at this time and will have no further comment.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support.

-Chris Kontos

FROM FORBIDDEN:

Everyone in Forbidden wants to wish Chris Kontos the absolute best in his future endeavors. We found out about his leaving the band the same way everyone else did. A social media post.

What we created together with this album will hopefully stand the test of time. Chris was an integral part of the process.

We wish him nothing but happiness.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
