(NEW YORK, NY, September 12, 2016) – Rock luminaries SIXX:A.M. announce the release of their fifth studio album Vol. 2, Prayers For The Blessed, out November 18 via Eleven Seven Music. The album will be available for pre-order beginning October 14. Written and recorded at the same time as Vol. 1,Prayers For The Damned, released earlier this year, the album acts as a companion piece to the first chapter while simultaneously elevating the band's sound in every area. Fans can sample songs from the album NOW via the album teaser HERE.

 

From the outsider anthem "We Will Not Go Quietly" to the operatic show stopper "Maybe It's Time" and groove-driven, radio-ready rocker "That's Gonna Leave A Scar," Prayers For The Blessed displays the many sides of Sixx:A.M.'s sound, something that the band was able to develop by ramping up the amount of time they spent out on the road—full track listing enclosed. "We really found ourselves onstage and it's influencing the way we write," says Nikki Sixx. "We started focusing on our music not only as songwriters and lyricists but also stayed conscious of what would transfer over live to the audience.”

 

Touring three continents this year, Sixx:A.M. are excited to bring their music in front of audiences globally and perform the songs from Prayers For The Blessed. Taking their shows beyond the performance, the band made the announcement of Prayers For The Blessed during the first stop of their Canadian tour in Abbotsford, BC and will be shooting the video for “We Will Not Go Quietly” off the new album with iconic director, Wayne Isham, during their show in Edmonton, AB on Saturday, September 17. That same day, fans will also get a chance to meet the band during an in-store album signing at the West Edmonton Mall. Hosted by hmv Canada, the event will be limited to fans with an official event wristband, obtained by purchasing, or displaying hmv proof of purchase of Prayers For The Damned or album by another one of the bands on the tour (Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, From Ashes To New). Further details on the in-store HERE.

 

SixxA.M. will continue to tour across Canada through September 18 with one dollar from each ticket sold on the tour going to the Canadian Red Cross to support their relief efforts. The trio will head back out on the road in October for their highly anticipated US arena tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, and As Lions. The tour commences October 18 at Verizon Arena in Little Rock, AR and includes stops Denver, Las Vegas, Anaheim and Philadelphia—full tour routing below. Tickets for the tours can be purchased HERE.

 

Formed in Los Angeles in 2007, Sixx:A.M.’s mission has remained steadfast: to provide the masses with iconic, hard rock that boasts unrivaled musicianship. Comprised of vocalist and producer James Michael, guitarist Dj Ashba, and bassist Nikki Sixx, the band has sold over 1 million albums globally of their four previously released studio albums; The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack (2007), This Is Gonna Hurt (2011), Modern Vintage (2014), and Vol. 1, Prayers for the Damned (2016). Prayers For The Blessed is the second installment of their 2016 double album.

ABOUT SIXX:A.M.: Formed in 2007 on the streets of Los Angeles, SIXX:A.M.’s mission has remained steadfast: to provide iconic, hard rock to the masses that boasts unrivaled musicianship and a loyal legion of devoted fans beyond compare. Comprised of vocalist James Michael, guitarist Dj Ashba, and bassist Nikki Sixx, SIXX:A.M. is truly a culmination of each artist’s talents, taking from each of their names (Sixx, Ashba, and Michael). In addition to providing unparalleled vocals, Michael is also a highly acclaimed producer, having worked with Kelly Clarkson, Halestorm, and Papa Roach, and boasts the producing and mixing credits for all of the SIXX:A.M. albums released.

 

To date, the band has released 4 studio albums; The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack (2007), This Is Gonna Hurt (2011), and Modern Vintage (2014), and Prayers For The Damned (2016) and 3 EP’s; X-Mas In Hell (2008), Live Is Beautiful (2008), and 7 (2011). The band has come a long way since their live debut in 2007 at Crash Mansion, performing 5 songs off of The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, an audible, introspective recall of Sixx’s autobiography, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star. A hero for the cause, Nikki spoke on the epidemic in Washington during National Recovery Day, creating an even deeper, more personable bond with the artists. In combination with it’s success and topical importance, The Heroin Diaries is currently being made into a Broadway play, further proving its topic's impact and importance to society.  With so much to say and a passion for performing, Sixx penned his next book, This Is Gonna Hurt, that was soon accompanied by an album of the same name. Both books received notoriety as New York Times bestsellers. This began the band’s longstanding relationship with their fans that has been built off of trust, relatabiity, and honesty, in combination with their heavy-hitting rock anthems. Since, the trio have performed alongside rock mainstays such as Mötley Crüe, and headlined a nearly sold out 2015 US tour with special guest Apocolyptica. SIXX:A.M. have  been facing one of the busiest years of their career confident and undaunted, packing 2016 with the release of a double album in two installments, touring the globe, co-headlining  nearly all of the major US rock festivals including Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, Rocklahoma as well as playing the biggest European summer festivals such as Download Festival, Rock am Ring, Sweden Roc Gods of Metal and many more. Having sold over 1 million albums globally, SIXX:A.M. have set the bar for rock excellence and this year will solidify their spot as genre royalty.
