Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan has announced he will release his debut solo album, Gargoyle of the Garden State, on June 12th.
Bolan also shared the album's first single, "At War With Myself," along with a video featuring Danko Jones, via earMusic.
"'Gargoyle of the Garden State' is a bold, deeply personal debut rooted in the grit, attitude, and storytelling spirit of his New Jersey upbringing," according to a press release.
Multi-Grammy winner Nick Raskulinecz produced the album, which began as a simple conversation between friends. What started casually quickly evolved into a record that would ultimately define Bolan's voice as both a songwriter and storyteller.
"Gargoyle of the Garden State is not a project, it is every bit of my soul," says Bolan. "Like me, it knows when to be serious and also knows where the party is. It was incredible to work with so many of my talented friends an experience I wish everyone could have at least once."
The album features a cover of Oasis' "Rock and Roll Star," reimagined through Bolan's distinctive lens.
The album also features appearances from an exciting lineup of guests, including Corey Taylor, Nuno Bettencourt, Damon Johnson, Steve Conte, and fellow Skid Row members Scotti Hill, Dave "Snake" Sabo and Rob Hammersmith.
