With two U.S. Billboard top 20 albums and a string of hit singles already under their belt Prayers For The Damned represents the band’s most ambitious, complete and adrenaline-soaked effort to date. James Michael once again, plays triple-duty on “Prayers For The Damned” as vocalist, the album’s producer and mixer, there by solidifying the unique musicianship of this beloved hard-rock outfit. The introspective cover art for “Prayers For The Damned” is an original design created by guitarist Dj Ashba, further proving that all aspects of this album are a collaboration of true passion for the band.

“SIXX:A.M. is in the most creative place of our careers” says Sixx “For James, Dj and myself, we think it’s the perfect time to release so much quality music to our fans who’ve been supporting us over the last 3 albums”. Michael agrees “The double-albums will leave no stone unturned in our quest to create important music and push the boundaries of rock”. Ashba concludes “We are on a mission to give our fans even more than they could have hoped for, both musically and visually”.

The band’s previous release “Modern Vintage” featured the breakout single “Stars”, which sold over 73.000 copies, peaked at #5 on the Active Rock Chart and #4 on the Mainstream Rock Chart, making the band the #10 most played active rock artist of 2015.
