According to music industry web site Hits Daily Double, the first volume of “Prayers For The Damned”, the new double album from SIXX:A.M., the band featuring MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx alongside guitarist DJ Ashba and vocalist James Michael, is likely to sell between 16,000 and 20,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD was released on April 29 via Eleven Seven Music.
It’s a universal truth that true artists will always busy themselves creating, and that truly great artists will always find an audience for that work. It is little surprise then that despite storied individual histories playing in and working with some of the most iconic bands ever to have stalked the planet, Sixx, Ashba and Michael find themselves on the brink of unleashing yet another rock monster onto a burgeoning fan-base, that has already taken them firmly to their hearts.
“Prayers For The Damned”, the fourth studio album from a trio, represents the band’s most ambitious, complete and adrenaline-soaked effort to date. The album also boasts first-class production and mixing by Michael and original artwork from Ashba, proving that this collection of music is a true labor of passion.
But if SIXX:A.M.‘s tour schedule cemented what many already knew — that this is a truly special band capable of breath-stealing brilliance — it also reminded the band of the abiding power of pedal-down rock’n’roll.
“‘Prayers For The Damned’ includes some of the heaviest songs I’ve ever been involved with writing,” smiles Sixx. “These are the songs that are designed to get a reaction from a live crowd as much as they are going to sound brilliant over your stereo.”
