Angel Down is the third solo release and the first studio album by heavy metal musician Sebastian Bach. Released on November 20, 2007, it is the first release to feature all original studio recorded material. It is also Bach's first release since his 2001 release Bach 2: Basics. It has garnered attention due to Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose's guest appearance on three tracks and Bach's appearance on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar. The front cover art of the album is an original painting by Bach's late father, David Bierk, which bears a striking resemblance to David Lees's photo for Life magazine of the 1966 Florence flood.
In an exclusive preview of the album, Paul Cashmere of Undercover described Angel Down as "The metal album of the year, if not the 21st Century so far."
On October 27, 2007, "Back in the Saddle" was played on the Texas radio station Q94.5. According to the station, the phones rang off the hook when the single was played and it became the station's No. 1 most requested track, however it only debuted at #191 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, selling 6,400 copies in its first week.
Trivia:
Bach also has the album cover tattooed on his arm. The tattoo was done by Kat Von D. He was a celebrity guest on her show LA INK.
The Angel Down DVD is included on the limited edition of the album and features a documentary titled "Roadrage" made by Sebastian Bach himself and features a close look at the making of the album and backstage vision with The Trailer Park Boys.
The DVD also includes six live performances and a music video.
