Featuring guest appearances from Devin Townsend, David Ellefson (Megadeth) and Edu Cominato (SOTO, Jeff Scott Soto), ‘Bring Out Your Dead’ is the second single to be taken from ‘Songs For The Apocalypse’, the forthcoming new album by singer, songwriter and producer Jason Bieler.
Says Townsend: “As someone who tends to avoid guest appearances, I had to make an exception for Jason Bieler as a direct result of a show he played in Vancouver when I was 18 that I found super inspiring. It’s my honour to be involved with such a snuggly, talented dude.”
Commenting on both the single and full album, Ellefson adds: “Jason Bieler is the modern-day Frank Zappa. This record shows incredible diversity, melodies for days and an incredibly sophisticated view of the world through his eccentric lyrics and music. It took me to new musical voyages I had never before explored and for that alone I am thankful for the privilege of playing on this album.”
Set for release on 22nd January under the moniker Jason Bieler and The Baron Von Bielski Orchestra, ‘Songs For The Apocalypse’ also features musical talents and friends that include Todd LaTorre (Queensrÿche), Pat Badger (Extreme), Butch Walker (ex-Marvelous 3), Bumblefoot (Sons of Apollo), Clint Lowery (Sevendust), Benji Webbe (Skindred), Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah) and Andee Blacksugar (KMFDM). A full list of cohorts can be found below.
Jason Bieler was initially known for co-founding the Miami, Florida based hard rock act Saigon Kick, who achieved a platinum single with ‘Love Is On The Way’ from their gold-selling album ‘The Lizard’, which was produced by Bieler. He also played in an early touring version of Talisman with Marcel Jacob and Jeff Scott Soto, as well as Super Transatlantic with Extreme bassist Pat Badger, who earned a gold record for their work on the soundtrack for the movie ‘American Pie’.
In recent years, Bieler has been touring extensively as a solo artist with a show that features a wide array of musical styles, absurdist humour and numerous special guests. Together with his brother, he also co-runs the Bieler Bros. record label, which has worked with artists such as Skindred, Will Haven, Nonpoint, Karnivool, Sikth and more.
