"Throughout history, some of the most dramatic changes have occurred when people reject the status quo and demand change," says vocalist James Michael. "'Rise' is about how we find ourselves at a global tipping point and how it is our duty as citizens of this world to come together, communicate with one another and rise up to demand more of ourselves and our leaders."

"Prayers For The Damned" is the first volume of a double album project that will keep Michael, bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist DJ Ashba on the road throughout 2016.

"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."
